The desktop is the default location for downloaded files. Applications will d/l a .dmg file. Opening the file should mount a disk image. Generally, you simply drag the application to your applications folder to install. After that, you can unmount disk image and trash .dmg file.
As for Limewire Pro, buy your damn apps.
.exe files will not work on a Mac.

Limewire is a terrible program for p2p. Get Acquisition.

are you sure you're downloading Mac applications (for OSX)? Windows apps won't run (or install). If the installer or the app is an .exe file it's for Windows and won't work.
