ANT:)  Cabos is great - smooth as.

Thanks for MacUpdate for keeping legacy versions for Panther!

(I got the 'cant find java' msg for the new one and had to reinstall...)

JON55  If this app could mirror the look and feel of Acquisition, then it would easily be the best gnutella client.

Acquisition also found more results than this does (port is open on my router).

ELHEROE  Since this program doesn't work on Snow Leopard, does anyone know of another program like it because I don't like using Limewire

FRANKO  Sweet! Cabos may be a little rough around the edged but it works real well on my Powermac DP 2.0 running 10.5.8.

JONTHES  Long time user, first time complainer. Will someone tell the developers (they offer no contact link on their site) that now when downloading a large file, that it will actually unravel - the progress number will go backwards, and substantially, I've watched it happen, like a sweater being unraveled. Makes it very difficult to complete a large download.

PATDDFAN88  Version 0.8 didn't work properly when I ran it, so I was forced to go back to 0.79! if you can't find files, then stick to 0.79 as this is a bug that was never fixed. also, version 0.8 was not released for OS 9, so that must have been due to the bug in this version!

MIBRILANE  There's simply no excuse for this still being PPC-only. The core of the app is Java, so how hard is it to re-do the interface parts in a Universal Binary?

There may be no noticeable speed advantage to having a UB of Cabos running, but not having to invoke Rosetta has other advantages on a system, especially one running many tasks at once.

HEAVY_BABY  For technical resons, Cabos will not be Universal Binary.

If you want use in Intel Mac, please use Acqlite instead.

MIBRILANE  Don't worry, I will. ;-)

Seriously, though. Both apps this is based on have been UB for quite some time. I'm guessing "for technical reasons" means you're not using XCode. Am I right?
