mp3 downloads.com

[barrykane2003]

i joined downloads.com it cost me $17.00 for one year anyway they sent me an email with a link to finish joining i had to download a program named limewirewin.exe i did and when i went to open it i got the error not a valid win32 application so i did a google search for limewire i got one installed up and running downloading music then i come to think what did i pay $17.00 for so i went back to my email clicked on members page to logon it keeps saying before i start downloading i must install limewire which i have already got installed and downloading music,what i need to know is what is the relationship between mp3download.com and limewire have i been ripped off as i cant get onto the site i paid for hope someone can help me.
