Limewire will run torrents now. I recommend going to utorrent.com and getting that program and making it your default torrent program. A torrent is merely a file that helps you locate places to download the file you actually want. It can pull from mulitple computers making the download process faster. Limewire is an awful program, you should uninstall it. Anyone I've known, including myself, has had nothing but viruses and spyware from what you download from that.
