@apple098: If you can give me a native, universal, P2P Mac app, then I'll hug you. I've been looking for one ever since I got my first Mac back in 2006.

How come every positive comment on this app has bad ratings? Someone is devoting her or his life to negative thoughts. I will give it a try and I will try my best to like it. Over 1300 users can't be that wrong.

The fact that uploads are no longer listed is a major problem with this version. Why pay for an application that doesnt list them when you can get other that do for free. Are they needed? YES they are. It's useful. When such a simple thing isnt there, it makes me feel this is broken.

It is still unstable, it still drops connection and it still crashes /hangs on quit. All things that should been fixed long ago.

ernesto_a10: it is shareware agreed, but when the dev lured people in with promises of "free updates for life" and then tries to charge $24 to upgrade from v1 to v2, then he is a LIAR.

The icon ok, but the nagware has gottten a whole lot worse.

Honestly, there are free apps that do the same thing and better. Why pay for this garbage?

first of all.... the preview does work.!
uploads.. u dont need to see it do you.?
unstable...??? for u.. for me great... and it doesnt hangs on..
its a shareware what do u spected about the price and limitations... if u dont like it then dont buy it or use it...
and i remind u... anyway if one of those problems happens to me... this version is a BETA>!!!!!!!

Version 2 seems like a downgrade.

- the preview function no longer works
- uploads are no longer listed
- still as unstable as ever, connection drops after 5 minutes, hangs on quit
- more obtrusive "buy now!!!!11!!" dialog and more limitations
- uglier icon

And to add insult to injury he's charging another $24 to version 1 owners, minimum.

It does look pretty though....

this new 2.00 version ROCKS.. FASTER BETTER and its more stylish... more leopard like.. :D:D

Not too happy with it....

I've been using it for years, and I agree that it used to be unstable, especially back in early 2005. That said I haven't had stability problems for awhile, despite multiple OS upgrades and a transition to Intel. It's got a great interface and is probably the best P2P client I've ever used on either Win or Mac.

Well I paid for it but that doesn't guarantee a faultless app.
Still crashes quite frequently.

Maybe a future update will fix this, but until then I've removed it from my hard drive.

It's a good application, I certainly haven't had the problems others seem to have had with it but then I did pay for the application quite sometime ago, maybe you ought to just pay for it and support independent developers. That said I have left a comment or two on his blog regarding the BT element of Acquisition as that is all I now use Acquisition for (only kids use P2P these days) but unfortunately Acquisitions BT capabilities are quite limited - hopefully DW will over time fix this problem, he does seem to be quite an active developer with all this applications receiving regular updates.
