Yes, it gets good reviews. It can be used while we are waiting for that great new major upgrade that is going to work with OS 10. And, say hallileujah, NO FREAKING JAVA!!!!!!!!

mac osx hints gave this endorsement:

"If anyone is bored stupid waiting for Limewire to connect, find and then download your files, then try Acquisition, a new Gnutella alternative.

I have used this for about a day, and everything I've searched for has had results within a few seconds, and I've been able to download the located files. Acquisition has a fantastic user interface, is built using Cocoa, has freely available source, and is incredibly stable ... what more could you ask for?"
