jmbeam: Your post about file types was posted at the end of a long unused thread although I think the thread did, to an extent answer your questions. I have no idea personally what file types are Mac Games so I can't help you on that.

I understand you have purchased Limewire from a scam site understanding it to be a Legal means of downloading games.

I should make it clear that Limewire is a perfectly legal p2p (peer to peer) application which connects users together on the Gnutella network to exchange files. It is a known fact that not all the files exchaged are exchanged legally and that they are subject to copyright restrictions. I do feel you have bought and are trying to use Limewire under a misconception and I hope this clears that up.

Many of the programme files are totally useless, that are available on The Gnutella neteork (for which Limewire is one of the primary applications.

There is a feature called bitzi lookup where by you can control-click on a file in the search window, select Bitzi and be taken to a web site where you will be told if a file is good or bad, or you will be told there is no imformation on it. This will help find good files, but Limewire is really not a recomended source for programme files, although many people have had success finding good programmes here.
You can post questions on the forum freely, but asking about specific copyrighted files is not allowed. You may also select pm and send a personal message to another member, but I and many others, would rather that questions that could better be asked on the open forums are asked there.

I hope this helps a bit.
