great news about the torrent support. just started to get into torrents and there’s got to be a better way than alot of the torrent apps out there. look forward to see how this develops since acquisition has matured to be such a great p2p app. keep up the great work

Oh yeah!
your style in a torrent app… total sweetness.
The biggest thing I need to worry about is resuming downloads that are already in progress.

Is there any way to import things that are in progress in a different app and get them to continue downloading with acq?

Wow, the bit torrent integration is sweet. I’m surprised how fast a file downloaded and how quickly it sped up. Goodbye Azureus for good.

Very neat – I love it!

Is there anyway to monitor upload speed of torrents?

Whoah. I had almost completely stopped using Acquisition as I do most of my downloading from BitTorrent now..

This is really sweet.. and a very welcome new feature.

Not only monitor upload speeds, but throttle if need be.

Great !!! Any chance you’ll be working in some plug-ins ? example “safepeer plug-in” ?

AWESOME! I haven’t even tried it yet, but I am so excited to hear about torrent integration, I just had to post my appreciation!

okay, immediate reaction: the new prefs window is nice, i like it. It’s familiar, but a bit slicker, I like the use of the inquisitor icon. Now as far as torrents go, however, im a little lost. I downloaded a torrent file using Acq., but then nothing happened. Draging the torrent to Acq. does nothing, option clicking on the icon and going to “open with” gives me azureus, bits on wheels, and tomato torrent, but not Acq, itself. Eventually, i found it in in the menu bar file>Open Torrent, and Acq oppend it no problems. idealy, this process should be automated. After succesful dl of a torrent file, the torrent itself opens in Acq and starts going. Great effort though! It’s def. a step in the right direction! Keep it up!

I really don’t like bittorrent apps but there are alot of torrents out there. I love acquisition but sometimes its easier to use torrents than Gnutella. Now that acquisition does torrents i can use it to dl anything an i have no need for bittorent apps anymore i just dragged my bittorent app to the trash!

Thanks soo much!

I concurr with Zach, to manually start the torrent download is a break in the ease of use. Furthermore i suggest a torrent only file-type (like music, pictures, movies, etc.) this would make finding torrents much easier. But Acuisition is a Hell of a Program… keep up the tremendous work.

I think you guys are missing the point. Downloading torrents from the gnutella network is not the way to go about finding the latest torrents.

I love it! Wonderful! I’m so happy I paid for Acquisition — it continues to be one of the best reasons to be on OS X!

SteveW: My point is, just because there aren’t that many torrents available doesn’t justify the lack of the sort of feature I’m talking about. Acquisition is renowned for its ease of use, and is probably the only downloading program that could do this. in fact, I’m looking forward to it being further incorporated in future releases. Keep up the great work, Dave!
Are there any plans for an information pane-type function to display more info on each torrent? (Or – and this would really blow me away) the ability to select, prioritize, or delete individual files in a multi-file torrent) That’d be awesome!

So with the exporting of videos to iTunes, does that mean they will be formatted for viewing on the iPod?

I’d hope not, since not everyone has a video iPod, and resulting quality loss on some files would really suck. It’s be interesting as an option in the prefs, though. Ideally, Apple should have this feature built into iTunes, under Advanced in the menubar. But what do I know….

Thanks for the great work David. Your application is the best Gnutella app there is on any platform. It really annoyed me that I had to have Azureus open at the same time and was actually about to email you and request that feature. Seems you were far ahead of me.
Words do not describe the brilliance of your application.

I second all the positive feedback. There is nothing to complain about here. Just enjoy!

Torrents working – acquisition is superb, need no other dl app.

I’m still uncertain about the torrent feature on Acquisition. I quite like Acquisition and would like to be able to branch out into this function as well. When I open a torrent file, it appears as though nothing happens. Am I missing something fundamental?

My question is for .torrent’s

I would like to know how the Uploading is handled?

Lot of us use services and tracks our performance, we want and need a good ratio.

Anyone help me with this or know more about how ACQ is handling ratio’s? I know we don’t have the ability to control torrent level throttle but my main concern is my ratio’s

I think you guys are missing the point. Downloading torrents from the gnutella network is not the way to go about finding the latest torrents.
