Torrent Clients

[chrisj]

Ive been using transmission for awhile now. It's alright but I was wondering if anyone has any other torrent clients for the mac that they think are better than transmission.

thanks

There are guides to get uTorrent to work on a Mac OSX. Ex:http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-run-utorrent-in-osx/

uTorrent is hella simple... Normally I'm happy with a lot of the options from other BT clients (used ABC, Azureus, etc before). uTorrent probably uses the least amount of resources for a torrent client and does the job done, if that's what you're looking for.

I use utorrent.. it's awesome for the reasons mentioned above...

anybody here have an invite to bitmetv? or other cool trackers? I can trade you invites to supertorrents.org. it's an awesome site (some of the more popular torrents can reach 2mb/s) so I need something equally as awesome in exchange

I use Azureus, works great for me. And I use www.completorrent.com to search most of the major trackers in one shot, rather than hitting them individually. But I'm always looking for suggestions if you have them.

Hasn't failed me yet.

Transmission is so fucking easy. It's the best for OS X.

Guys check out btjunkie.com for your torrents. Really got most torrents indexed.

the only problem with huge, open public trackers is there's no quality control and no incentive for people to keep seeding after a while

utorrent utorrent utorrent

dude is asking for Mac torrent clients.

uT doesn't work on mac/osx or linux atm...

see the first reply, it's possible (albeit not terribly practical, I'll admit). Parallels is an option too.

true say. get invites to private trackers if you can.

but back on topic... i use azureus for mac and pc and i think its great. the only other ones ive tried on mac are transmission and tomato torrent.

yeah i use transmission on the mac aswell, would prefer utorrent, but its not practical

ive been using transmission.. but im getting some major uploading problems with a certain private tracker, what.cd .. it worked fine on other private/public trakcers like demonoid/piratebay and shit..

so i figured it cld be relating to either my isp (comcast) or my torrent program

[alterion]

are you using 0.9.5- they just banned that version because it had a critical bug, and they messed up the whitelist for a few days which played havoc with anyone using transmission 0.9.x - should be fixed now though??

the problem with Transmission is that there isnt any support for encryption hence dramatically slower transfer speeds when compared to utorrent and azuerus on isps that throttle unecrypted p2p traffic.

I wish they finish porting utorrent over to os x.

comcast is famous for throttling torrent uploading.

[chrisj]

yeah i read an article today talking about how comcast throttles seeds using. the same article mentioned using a shell proxy.. i tried setting it up, but i think i failed...

yer rich enuff, eh? set up a seedbox and tell us all about it.

[its swanny]

wafffack? 2345678

[ghostdeini]

a seedbox is a computer with a fat bandwidth pipe that's dedicated to seeding/downloading shit... people rent out access for $$

I'm looking for a copy of the movie Magnolia (1999) in 2x 700mb or NTSC DVDR format. hook a brother up
