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?
[Editor's note: By publishing this hint, I don't want to turn the site into a debate on the legalities and moralities of downloading things which aren't yours and may be copyrighted by others ... but Acquisition is a very well done program, and I felt it was worth a mention for those that may be using Limewire or something similar.]
