dmg files are regular mac disk images, I don't recommend filtering them out if you are seeking program files. Many mac programs on p2p networks are now using zip.

ALL exe files are windows only files. Setup is the installer.

When seeking mac programs, try to find those that say for mac.
eg: Spiller for mac.zip or Spiller for OSX.zip

Else, seek out a good bittorrent site & go to the mac section. Google the word p i r a t e or bay. I can't say any more due to forum restrictions.

Filtering those out are for if your not seeking programs. But if your filtering out stuff, might as well filter out exe. You can't use them on a Mac anyways,

Hmm, I always though DMG's are like exe's for the mac. Guess I was wrong. Guess I should

I have the same problem, I use LimeWire for about I don't know like 6 years, but lately all I get is hidden in downloads for MAC those stupid exe files for windows. I have OX10.5 run LimeWire 4.12 for MAC, if I search I always put "MAC" or dmg in it, only sh....t I get. That is a real waste of time and download capacity. Oh I miss the time they where not zipped or what so ever, just showed the dmg so you new what you are downloading. And it seems no help here either to avoid the download of exe hidden. They also put for MAC in the name of the file and still only shows exe, so I guess they are just teasing Mac users those windows users. I don't know about mistakes that can sometimes happen, but out of 10 there are now 9 if not all 10 exe. So I ask myself who keeps himself busy with that.

So even if you ask for MAC only, it wont work, still hidden exe, so try them all, trash all exe after nothing else left to do and mark them as spam, so maybe MAC users wont download
