Actually 26GB isn't all that much nowadays. Think e.g. Bluray. I have seen packs in the 300 and even 400GB range. Just an untouched DVD will often be in the 8GB range, so trilogy will already be close to that.

But like mentioned above. Never ever rely on limewire for torrents. There are dosens of better REAL bittorrent clients. The two most popular being uTorrent and Vuze (Azureus)
