You need to download the .dmg file.
 
.exe files are Windows executable files. You won't be able to run them unless you install Windows either via bootcamp or virtualization.
 
.exe is a Windows program file. It can't be opened unless running Windows. If you got it off Limewire, you're either trying to get free software, or you're downloading a Windows virus.

So it's bad either way.
