Does Anyone Else Here Use Torrents?
Hello peoples,
Does anyone here besides me use torrents?
go to www.utorrent.com for more info. You can't get the program on Mac now but they are making a mac version.
Anyone? |

I (and many here) use a neat little app called Transmission. Check it out here.
Edit: Many, excluding a few of wise guys

It rained very heavily at my place last night, and it filled up my rainwater tank.. so yes, I guess I do use them.

C'mon guys. The OP is a newcomer and may have legit reasons for wanting a BT client (we all know there are legit reasons, what purpose we use them for is not the question).
Tommy94, please excuse my fellow MacTalkers silly responses, they're nice guys really and usually very helpful 
Thanks for joining MacTalk.

Xtorrent is amazing- fast too! worth every part of $26!
Highly recommended 
I tried transmission a and it kills the bandwidth and downloads soooo slow.
Not recommended at all  |

I use utorrent on windows but for OS X I have to agree... Xtorrent is worth every bit of what they charge... so +1 Xtorrent

I have yet to look for a BT piece of software for the mac (as I just use my PC for all that) but I was about to so this thread was good timing for me.
I just downloaded transmission and it does look to be a very nice piece of software.

Transmission is at version one now and is working well for me. There were a few problems with some of the 0.9 builds though...
