However, I would like to thank 'File_Girl71' , 'Lord of the Rings' , & 'Stefan Kopac' for all their help & useful information (and more importantly, the accuracy of the info they posted)!!! Good stuff people!

Using the advice/recommendation of another member (I apologize for forgetting who it was), I downloaded Frostwire and it's working great! Not as awesome as Acquisition was, but I'll deal!
Thanks again everyone and have a great weekend!

Thanks for the answer I've been looking for! Frostwire it is, gotta roll with the punches.

So everyone . . . now that we all know & have confirmed the cessation of Acquisition/Limewire, I'm sure you are asking yourself, "What program do I use now!?"...
I have started using Frostwire as a result of suggestions from others.
So far I have not encountered any problems or glitches, buuuuuuut . . . I must say, if like me, you have been spoiled for years using Acquisition & are used to successfully finding almost every music search you attempt (whether they be a rare artist/song/album), you are going to be somewhat disappointed with the results Frostwire produces

I'm assuming there aren't as many members/sharers on FW compared to LW/Acq?
If anyone has more suggestions on a replacement program for Limewire, please let me know! Frostwire will have to suffice for now, but hopefully I can find another program which is equally successful at finding rare searches like Acquisition WAS
