Cabos emphasises simplicity and elegance: its user interface and preferences dialogue are sleek and polished. It includes Mojito DHT support. Cabos is the continuation of a project also called Cabos and run by a Japanese developer nicknamed heavy_baby; he has since ceased development on it and redirected his attentions to Acqlite, another Gnutella client. However, Cabos should not fall into desuetude simply because the lead has other projects on his mind; this project is a resurrection and a homage. Like the original Cabos, this continuation is licenced under the GNU General Public Licence. Note: Cabos 0.8.2 and earlier for MacOS is 32-bit only. Cabos is free as in speech and free as in beer.
