Default I block Acquisition downloads

Although LimeWire is still my favorite filesharing client, Acquistion shows some promise. It is much more responsive than java clients such as LimeWire and it's interface follows Mac conventions more closely. I found a link to Acquisition at http://www.macorchard.com/sharing.html
Well, I deliberately kill all Acquisition connections. I wish I had a way to deny them automatically.

The reason? Acquisition seems to have this "feature" that opens several parallel connections to download a file in parts. I have seen ONE Acquisition client consume ALL of my available upload slots!

Those Acquisition assholes end up locking out everybody else. They'd lock out others for a whole day or more if they're downloading a DVD or something.

I've never had an Acquisition user make just one connection to me. They always make as many connections as possible. So I kill 'em.
