Damiano Venturin proposed the following answer:
it was just to test. tree lists (as a tree) files and folders: try it in a terminal 
tree -L 2 ~

so before to install packages downloaded from internet you should do:

apt-cache search limewire

and you probably get

frostwire - A Truly Free and Open Source Peer to Peer client

if you want to read details on the package:

apt-cache show frostwire

so to install it:

sudo apt-get install frostwire

if you can't anything after apt-cache search, start browsing for a package on the internet: assume that you find a "limewire.deb" file, download it somewhere, let's say in your home, and then you do:
cd ~
sudo dpkg -i limewire.deb


Go on studying: who moves to linux never go back ;-)
