Thanks for your help, solved my problem. Are Iwad's diffrent than wads such as mentomori and others. If so can I play these wad's? If not, where can I get more Iwad's?

Iwads are the main .wads the come with the games, i.e. doom.wad, doom2.wad, plutonia.wad, tnt.wad, heretic.wad, hexen.wad and strife.wad . They all work on their own.
Pwads are add-ons for these games. Things like Memento Mori 1 & 2, Requiem, and much smaller, one or two level .wads are all pwads. They always require an iwad to be present
Pwads will (usually) only work with the iwads they were designed for, i.e. a Doom 1 pwad will only work with doom.wad. However, anything made for Doom 2 will also work with TNT and Plutonia, although the reverse isn't true.
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames/levels/ has tens of thousands of pwads, although most are crap.
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames/levels/doom2/megawads/ has all the big, 10+ level pwads, so it's probably a good place to start.
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/ has levels for the various Doom sourceports (ZDoom, Legacy, Edge, Boom, etc), and as they're much more modern than some of the other pwads on cdrom.com, they tend to be higher quality.

Thanks for you help, but im still a little foggy on how to use the pwads after I download them. I am running ZDOOM. Also, what is the diffrence between the ports for doom? Which is the best?

Get ZDoom 1.23 beta24, put all of your IWADs (doom2.wad, doom.wad, plutonia.wad, tnt.wad) into the same directory as zdoom, then run zdoom.exe ... and it'll ask you which IWAD to load with.
