Unhappy Trouble dowloading and playing movies

I'm on Mac OSX. I've spent all day reading forum Q&As on existing threads which lead me from one website to another, downloading more software than I'll ever know the anachronyms for. I just want to download and play movies. And search for them. No porno - just regular existing dvds that people are sharing. First, when I search I get millions of porno matches. When I do finally find one worth downloading, I can't get a successful download (it stops, saying it's going to requery). Then, for the one partial movie which did download after trying all day, I can't play it. I've downloaded upgrades today to Limewire, QuickTime, and iDVD. I've downloaded divX, which doesn't really seem to do anything but search for AVI files. The one partial movie I downloaded is an AVI file, but not recognized by divX. I downloaded installer software for DIVX doctor I and II, neither of which seem to load. Also, a DIVX502bundle which does nothing when I click on it. Something called Indeo Video 3.smi is on my desktop and I have no idea what I did to make that appear or what it's supposed to do. What are the simple, basic steps to searching, downloading, and playing for a computer novice like myself? It also is a hindrance that I'm new to Mac and have trouble figuring out this OSX thing to begin with. HELP!!!
