rollcage Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Nice, can't wait to try it out although I think Transmission does a decent job too. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55350-utorrent-is-coming-to-os-x/#findComment-395872 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogabean Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 This is pretty exciting news. I too thought they had decided to abandon this. I use Azuerus right now, but find myself falling back on uTorrent under Fusion a lot of the times.

Technobob Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I just bought a new computer and it's not ready yet to run OSX so I have been using Vista (YUK!!!) for the past week and I have been using uTorrent. I forgot how much I loved that program and thought I will miss it once again when I go back to OSX so this is great news.

Headrush69 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 If this had happened sooner I might have been happier, but since the last few SVN versions of Transmission added Selective Downloading support, its not such a big deal for me and Azureus was ditched also. Â I'm interested to see if the reported download speeds are as fast as some people indicate compared to the other clients. Â Edit: Added bold type since people still don't know as evidenced by next few posts!

Hagar Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 In the meantime, uTorrent runs nicely in crossover/DarWine or Parallels/VMWare Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55350-utorrent-is-coming-to-os-x/#findComment-395999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ramm Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I hate uTorrent. I prefer Azureus (already for mac) or Transmission (only for mac). Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55350-utorrent-is-coming-to-os-x/#findComment-396009 Share on other sites More sharing options...

erbic Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Heh. HTTP = standard Internet downloads. Like direct download from a web site. Â Anybody got a link (or vague, unclear reference I could puzzle out) to where we might be able to get a hold of the beta? I heard they were talking about it on the pink palace, but the thread/post got deleted.

apowerr Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Transmission is perfect for me except that you cant select specific files like you can in uTorrent.

EFI Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 This is great news indeed. I really miss uTorrent. I use Transmission....but still frequently use uTorrent under Windows.

-aKy- Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 when a version of Transmission comes out that lets me select only the files i want then i'll stick with Transmission i think, it just looks great and is easy to handle.

cavillor Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hallelujah. The only decent torrent clients currently on OS X are Azureus (so slow and hoggish that I can't stand it), BitRocket (which has been out of development for two years), and Transmission (which, now that it supports selective downloading, may actually be worth something). On Windows, I love uTorrent. For a while, I was tempted to go back just for uTorrent and Alcohol 120%.
