giFTBox (like KaZaA) for Mac OS X
Everyone download this and help it grow. It's the closest thing we'll ever get to Kazaa and it's good for a beta 5 version.

I get the very same thing with newer builds of GiftBoX, which is odd, because the first betas used to connect just fine.
Anyone know what's going on here?
So it's working now
Anyway, this is a nice little app. I was connected to 1052 users last night. Though, a lot of my searches end up blank. Ah well, a good start.
It worked for me for about one day and night and now whenever I click to start sharing and downloading a few seconds later it changes from on back to off.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Does anyone have a remote site I could connect to?
Thanks,
Dan
It's downloading 3 movies right now.
But I hope giftbox comes along also, since its goal
is to access many p2p networks at once.

I haven't payed for it. How can you think Limewire's better than Acquisition? Limewire's never worked well for me.

From what I gather, Aquisition is an aqua gui over the limewire core.
Not exactly. Both Limewire and Aquisition are Gnutella clients. Gnutella is a P2P network protocol. Limewire is written in Java while Aqcuisition is written in Cocoa. Acquisition is more of a native Mac OS X app than LImewire.
Another great client is Xnap for the Open Napster network. Unlike Mldonkey and giftbox you dont have to go through a laborious process of installing it through the command line.

Limewire is a joke.
Acquistion is the best thing on the mac by far. Just don't register it all u get is a little box that pops up every now and then
