Many will tell you to avoid zip files altogether. Unless you are very sure of what you are doing and have the very latest anti virus protection, I would not go near them. Zip files on Gnutella are renowned for being riddled with viruses, and in other ways, of no use. I would suggest getting the feel of Limewire with a few audio files. You don't have you want them and you can always delete them. Search the forums for information and read the stickies at the top of each forum for answers to the commonest problems.

I hope this helps a bit, but don't hesitate to ask if you need more help.
