Hey clueless--easy now. Dave writes that Acquisition is dependent on Limewire for the source code. There is a difference in the two, but I don't know the exact nature of those differences. Sam says the source code is the same, Dave wrote that "search architecture has changed quite substantially and will perform questionably until the network environment is more optimized to support it. This is not an issue I have any control over. Search performance is a core-side issue (LimeWire), so while I appreciate any effort to inform me, it's directed at the wrong person. [np] Wait until LW 2.9/3.0 emerges in wide release before really worrying about it. The network is just not optimized right now for dynamic querying."

Yeah, there are differences, and yeah, they are frustrating for those of us who know time is running out on the freedom of p2p. As for why one or the other downloads--I'd only be guessing. All I've seen in the last few months is that no platform or client combination is reliable. Don't bash the coders on matters of fact. The business manager is posting on the Limewire message boards--maybe you should take it there?

Sorry--here's the link to the message board where Acquisition and Limewire are mentioned http://core.limewire.org/servlets/Su...t?listName=dev and http://www.sciforums.com/f72/s/showt...threadid=17431
