Acquisition is a piece of pure beauty: It is not only incredibly good looking but also of a functionality many things on this planet don't achieve. What it is?
Why, a p2p - filesharing program for OS X, of course!
The brainchild of an David Watanabe, this is rather small proggy and has a nice, clean GUI that was oviously designed by a very levelheaded and minimalistic creature, as it is not cluttered with icons or sporting any vile colours (like Windows XP or any other product from the gates of hell). As I am not a very technical person, I may quote the gory details from the website:
"Acquisition is a gnutella client supporting modern gnutella features such as Ultrapeers, swarm (multi-source) downloads, download resumption, and distributed network discovery. "
It includes mp3 downloads automatically on an Itunes playlist, which is nice, as you always have your newest music automatically updated on your ipod. The search function is quite powerful, you can browse other users hd's and the little gem sorts your hits into albums, artists or filetypes, if wanted
Support is great, and for a mere 15$ it can be legally yours, although the tryout-version just has a little nagging window popping up from time to time and otherwise gives the same functionality as the registered thing.
