Unhappy how 2 get run and install once i've downloaded from lime?

Hi everyone! This is my first time at this so please forgive me if I'm screwing up. Anyhow, I just started using limewire today and i found some cool programs i'd like to share **** on my powerbook g4. I went and got a free download of stuffit Expander to open the files I download, but when I do try and open, I get NOTHING! I get an exe file that I guess my computer doesn't recognize. What I'm doing is simply double clicking on the application I just downloaded from limewire and this exe file pops out every time! What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help????

You downloaded a file for pc windows, not for mac.
exe files are windows only.

If the files are zip, the file needs to say "for mac". Otherwise get sit, or image files such as dmg or toast.
