midgetmafia Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hey, I just finished installing Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2 using Kalyway's DVD, and everything works great. I was surprised myself that I didn't have any hiccups. Now all that I'm in need for is a good BitTorrent client, as well as an FTP application. In Windows, I used uTorrent and Filezilla. In Linux, I used rTorrent and Midnight Commander. Are there any popular BitTorrent clients and FTP clients that people in the Mac world use?

Tek Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Transmission for BitTorrent, Cyberduck for FTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHoKiLLa Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Filezilla is also available for Macs from the same place, be sure to choose the right version though (Intel or PowerPC). Anyone know a good newsgroup program for OSX? I use grabit on Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Dman Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I use transmission for torrent. And transmit for FTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacThomas Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Cyberduck for FTP is awesome app for OSX. I would highly recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I guess Im the only one who found Cyberduck unreliable. For a freeware sftp solution I like fugu, but I think the commercial offering Fetch is still the overall winner for fxp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ajob Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I use Transmission for torrents but apparently there is also Acquisition, Vuze (formerly Azureus), BitTornado, FoxTorrent, LimeWire, Opera, and even uTorrent (with Wine) I use Filezilla for FTP client but apparently there is also Bulletproof, CrossFTP, Cute, Cyberduck, Fetch and Transmit Now, for setting up an FTP server you could just use the built in service but other choices include CrossFTP, JScape, PureFTPd and glFTPd but Rumpus is by far my favourite as its very easy to set up and use and and is well supported Use wikipedia to compare various protocol clients (and servers) - they have nice tables which list various operating systems including OSX I recommend also using Unison for browsing the binary newsgroups and finally Colloquy for chatting with other Hackintosh users on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) - once installed try connecting to osx86.irc.hu (#hackint0sh) and irc.moofspeak.net (#InsanelyMac and #osx86) Go on, set up a nice server and host some useful files for us ...
