There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I'm confused, 140724>129267  Huh

When your client has downloaded all the blocks you'll be ready to start sending and receiving coins.

That's basically it, I think.
