Hondo Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I don't really like any of these clients, I was formally a windows user and I always used utorrent. So I just use crossover to run utorrent and that seems fine to me.

Headrush69 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Transmission. SVN Transmission. (Need Selective downloading) Seems to be a lot of rumors over utorrent on the Mac. One site suggested that some trackers are are already setting up blocks on utorrent on OS X since it was bought by BitTorrent Inc. (Some paranoia about thinking BitTorrent Inc is linked to MPAA) I'm curious as to anyone that currently is using utorrent through Crossover what kind of quantitative speed difference you are seeing. I tested it and didn't see a noticeable difference but all the web articles I've read suggest it is remarkably faster.

Tavo Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I've been using BitRocket in the last months, but now I use BitTyrant and I think it's a good choice.

sg Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 utorrent seems to be coming to the mac and should have a beta released any day now. apparently its being made by the guy that wrote bitrocket.

Kenta Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 µTorrent running in Crossover FTW. Sure, it's a lot more bloated than it would be running on Windows, and it takes up 100% CPU, but setting it's priority low make it so it seems transparent.

tha_toadman Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 i still don't understand why you wouldn't just run a UB app native!? IMHO, a waste of resources...

Kenta Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 It's because it has things like Mainline DHT, encryption, and actually maps my ports right (I don't know why, but all the Mac clients tell me that they can't map them because they were already manually mapped.) Though when I only need to download one or two torrents I use tomato torrent.

iDerf2006 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'm quite partial to Azureus. Does everything I want it to and fast, even though it is a bit of a resource hogger.

karurosu Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I am using Azureus right now, but I am planning on migrating to rtorrent. its a ncurses based client (so no fancy GUI, just old command line), its pretty fast and easy to use once you get used to it. The installation is a bit tricky since you'll need to use darwinports or fink (tried both and I think the darwinports installation is simpler). It is supposed to use less resources than any other client, however in practice I've seen azureus work pretty fast on mac, so it may be not as good as an option. Hard core users will find it cool Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/49744-best-bittorrent-client-for-os-x/page/2/#findComment-417480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 for rtorrent, you could use bitrocket (since it uses rtorrent). Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/49744-best-bittorrent-client-for-os-x/page/2/#findComment-417574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
karurosu Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I personally think that bitrocket its nice , however it seems to act weird on some cases, and I had low speeds, so I find rtorrent to be better, and the interface its a lot geekier Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/49744-best-bittorrent-client-for-os-x/page/2/#findComment-417785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetrasoft Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I use Azerus. I find it fast. I did use The Original BitTorrent Client but that was slow (probably not now that it is utorrent rebranded now). I sometimes use a custom client I built a while back when I need to do something special with the file.
