Limewire is a functional torrent client (albeit a really, really crappy one).

Torrents are how a lot of open source projects (including Ubuntu) get their software out efficiently.

If you want to learn more go ahead and google bittorrent and read all about it.

BitTorrent and uTorrent

There are also direct downloads from mirror servers available, but these in general are slower than torrenting, which can achieve really high speeds depending on the torrent activity.

Hi, millerhshirt,

32 or 64 bit depends on your windows installation. If you Windoes is 32 bit, you need the 32 but version on the instaler.
64 but Windows can run both versions I think. So, if in doubt, use the 32 but installer.

Best,
Minks
