I tried to answer as much as i can. I tried installing frostwire, but the same message pops. I then thought maybe I need an older version of limewire. So I downloaded plenty but when it came to the install page it says "there is nothing to install here" or something. IM CONFUSED and really annoyed. I usually am able to solve these problems by myself but this one is really confusing to me....

What you need to do is remove the install limewire.pkg file from your receipts folder; more about that here Downgrading to LimeWire 4 from 5 & resuming incomplete downloads with sub-link .. or direct link for receipts folder sample image here: Receipts folder sample image

After that you can install an older LW version.
