Been loving the music downloads via Limewire and have half heartedly tried to download a couple of apps, but have a few questions.

I've read through the forums and have seen that downloading apps through Limewire is not recomended due to the amount of spam/ virus's in most things but music, what i'm wondering is, if i find a torrent link elsewhere how well will it download through LW? or, can you share any good places to either get the links for apps or even another LW style programme to download/ find them through?
