SCO0048 - Acquisition - Mac P2P Filesharing - Extra! Only Show
Filed in: Applications
This show is all about Acquisition - a fantastic file sharing application for the Mac.
Acquisition allows Mac users to access the Gnutella file sharing network using a beautifully engineered software application with full integration with iTunes. It also has full support for Bittorrent providing you with a simple integrated Bittorrent client application to download legal Bittorrent files in a seamless and easy fashion making Acquisition the ultimate downloaders tool.
The show takes you through:
Background to Peer 2 Peer (P2P) Filesharing
Installing and configuring Acquisition
Setting User Preferences
The Acquisition Interface
Using Searches
Downloading Files from Gnutella
Bittorrent Explanation
Downloading Bittorrent Files
The show contains a disclaimer that ScreenCastsOnline in no way condones piracy or illegal filesharing and that unlawful use of Acquisition is prohibited by the license agreement. Due to the open nature of the Gnutella file sharing network, demonstrations during the show do unearth illegal files and I have taken steps to obscure the files from displaying in some of the portions of the show for legal reasons . I apologise if this is distracting during the show but the section on searching for podcasts is fully in the clear as these files are legal downloads.
I hope you enjoy the show!
