![]() Hi, I stumbled upon Acquisition recently, and it seems to be a stable and good working (and especially good looking) Program for MacOSX. So I'd sure be glad, if it had its Forum here on gnutellaforums. For Information: http://xlife.org/acquisition.php or http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/7170 |

![]() I think Acquisition has no forums yet because it's a Limewire clone. Ivan "In the dark we make a brighter light"

![]() It may be like Limewire, but it is a far far better client. It is written specifically for the Cocoa environment, not in Java. Consequently it runs faster and does not take up all the processor cycles like Limewire. It doesn' t have all the features of Limewire, but it is getting there and I will consider paying for it. |

![]() Many users seem to think Limewire and Acquisition are separate, even antagonistic, clients. If the Acq users could be recognized as a legitimate Gnutella participants (just a link to the Aquisition forums http://www.sciforums.com/f72/s/forum...?s=&forumid=73), it might help moderate a growing sense of sour evangelism. Perhaps clients should be listed by core first. This would make both Limewire, Acquisition, and (?) subdivisions of Java. Really though, I suspect new users look for platform headings first. |

![]() I'd sign that. Acqusition has a complete different feel from Limewire, though. I think it is because the UI of Limewire is written in Java, the one of Acquisition MacOSX native. So it feels much smoother, and reaction times seem to be faster. The point is "seem to be". I don't think that the core is really faster, but I get much better reactions. Why doesn't someone write a Windows-Program, which just serves as a GUI for Limewire, thus circumventing Java for displaying? Acq. is exactly that, but for the Mac. And it is great! |

But anyways, I would not support an Acquisition forum here on this site. We have our own site, and it's best left that way. |

![]() No need to duplicate the content or split the Acquisition user community. For my 2¢, Acquisition is the best performing client I've tried on Mac OS X. I've also tried Phex and Limewire. I've been a loyal Limewire user (even bought Pro) since early 2001, but I've been frustrated by Limewire's windowing performance on the Macintosh - which seems to have gotten worse. I can't run Limewire on my Mac anymore because it ends up stealing all my machine's CPU cycles. I'm curious why this is - Phex is also a Java application but it is much more responsive. Will make a post to the Limewire forum. |

![]() Hi, since I switched from PC to Mac acquisition is the only p2p that performs well on my MacBook so I am quite interested in a forum for it. If you guys feel it does not belong here, can you refer me to a forum about it that I can join? Recently I have a lot of downloads left incomplete by a system crash and I wonder whether there is any way I can kind of ´feed´ them back to acquisition (or any other tool that will do it) so it will pick up downloading them without losing the data already collected. (I am not a coder, but the way I see it if a p2p tool adds data to an existing file from a remote host, this should technically be the same like adding it from a local source) Any comments? Thanx. M. |
