Can you legally download songs that haven't been released yet? If so, where from? I thought that was the whole point of being able to download!!

Ahem.
No downloading is legal unless the owner of the copyright has given permission for you to do so.
Limewire - the software - is legal. What you do with the software, not necessarily so.
Quite frankly, it is unlikely that you are going to find pre-release tracks by "big name" bands to download for free anywhere. But... both Napster and iTunes (LEGAL download services - where you have to pay to download music) often have "Exclusives" where they preview a new album/single/whatever - that's probably your best chance.
Of course, you can always check on the artists' websites - they'll often let you know what's happening - and sometimes offer free downloads.
