bluedragon1971 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I voted for Azureus, although I have only tried BitTorrent, Azureus, and Tomato out of that list. I'm sure you will get some complaints that you didn't list very many different clients, or didn't list an "other" category.

asstastic Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 hows this transmission client compare to azureus? i like azureus because it comes with everything but the kitchen sink, but it is a bit of a resource hog.

denied Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 transmission:mac::µtorrent:pc very fast, super low overhead. hard to beat Transmission. Azureus is the most powerful and extensible, but maaaan does it eat resources.

Pantalaimon Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 the onlt thing that transmission needs is indivual select and torrent creation and its the best Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22384-poll-about-torrent-clients/#findComment-148508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technobob Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 You should also include Bits On Wheels another good client Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22384-poll-about-torrent-clients/#findComment-148533 Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoxu Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hello! I'm coming from Windows/utorrent and I'm looking for a Mac bit torrent client that can queue downloads. Is there anything out there? The ones I've tried don't seem to do it... I've tried transmission, Tomato, BitRocket, Xtorrent and none of them seem to have settings to queue downloads. And no thanks I'm not going to use Azureus because I have few system resources as it is.

macgirl Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Normally I handle my torrents within Edonkey, but when it needs more peers (because of DHT) I use uTorrent. Dedicated PC for that. For little ones on the Mac I use BitTorrent. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22384-poll-about-torrent-clients/#findComment-290519 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro17 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 BitTornado is my favorite, but there is no native OS X client. Edit: I have now voted for Transmission, since it is the one I use in OS X, but I wish it had more features.

hecker Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) transmission rocks dudes! It's petit, fast and simple and it gets the job done. Fast, reliable, not a memory hog. Except for one small detail: you can't pick to just download or skip single files from the torrent. At least, I never figured it out. So if it's there, that means I'm an idiot. hecker Edited February 9, 2007 by hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22384-poll-about-torrent-clients/#findComment-298350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Just to make sure, I did a quick round of 5 random-ish torrent sites & found that transmission is specifically banned on 4 of them. I have heard elsewhere that the overzealous announcing by transmission has been solved, but the fact remains that you can get banned from numerous trackers for using it...
