Can downloaded games be used on an Amiga?

Hi Every1,
I have just brought an Amiga A500+ I have a game I wanted to play on it but the disk is corrupted. I've found a download of the same game on the web, but the game is a ADF file? Can this download be used with my Amiga? And also how do I put the file on a disk? does it need any booting software on the disk as well?
Many Thanks

Thanks mate. How do I get onto Aminet, and what is the programme called? And because I'm stupid how does it work? Also one last question about Amiga games. If the download is 1mb and should be on 2 or more disks, how would I span them across the disks after downloading the file.
Many Thanks

I have read the file on ADF's. Surely if I just put the ADF of a game onto a disk (Does it matter what kind I use?)The ADF files of the game should then run, correct? It does sound like a bit of a hassle to muck about with all these cables, and what not!

Would it be possible to store some of the ADF files on a PC floppy (which are 1.44mb), then store them in memory. Then run the program on the Amiga to un-archive the files, then return the file/s to a disk? And where can I get a 720 kb floppy disk?
P.S. the Amiga I have brought is an Amiga A500+ with 2MB in total, do you think that is enough memory?
P.P.S. How in god's name do I transfer the Aminet programs to my Amiga (Null modem cable?)
Many Thanks

Thanks Speelgoedmannetje,
Would it be possible to list everything I will need to transfer a ADF "image" of a game, from a PC, then onto the Amiga, then onto a Disk? BTW I will be getting Workbench 2.1 with the Amiga.
Many, Many Thanks

Thanks again mate. the only problem with the games I have found in ADF format, is that they are stored on my PC! How can I get all of this software over to my Amiga with the least amount of fuss? (in idiot's terms as I'm stupid)Will I have to use 720kb disks to store the programs on?
