Product Description:

Acquisition is a gnutella client supporting modern gnutella features such as Ultrapeers, swarm (multi-source) downloads, download resumption, and distributed network discovery.

Acquisition also features a single-window user interface with a convenient drawer that summarizes all current searches, network activity, and active transfers.

What's new in this version:

Version 0.966 corrects some synchronization issues with 0.964 that could lead to orphaned processes sitting around on your computer. This seemingly correlates with lost download lists and difficulty connecting to the network. Because these orphaned processes can still be around from 0.96* installations, you ought to restart your computer before installing 0.966.

0.966 places the "Incomplete" folder in the correct location (as a subdirectory of the download folder).

Finally, thanks to a text rendering optimization, 0.966 should be noticeably faster when scrolling through very long lists of results.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

Don't pay for it. I've had so big problem with this soft and this developer. He's not really reliable.
Use others existing free soft.

I too spent $15 for version 1 and then was asked to shell out more for version 2 despite my "free upgrades for life". This developer is dishonest and I have no intention of buying any more products from him. At this point, it doesn't really matter. Acqlite is a better program and is open source and free.
