Just look at his awful nagware "features". Not to mention I bought a "lifetime" Acquistion license that doesn't work. Not to mention I got an extremely nasty email from him when I had a question about my license. Asshole Dave is an asshole. Just look at his awful nagware “features”.

Not to mention I bought a “lifetime” Acquistion license that doesn’t work.

Not to mention I got an extremely nasty email from him when I had a question about my license.

Asshole

I bought an XTorrent license from him and 2 days later the program quit working. He never responded to any of my emails regarding the problem. He provides no support for his software. Not even a FAQ!! I ended up disputing the charge with my credit card company. I would recommend the same for anyone else who has given money to this clown.
