First post. First let me thank you all for this great community!
I have a Macbook and Tiger is my first cntact with the Mac world. I am happy until now with the overall experience but there is something really bugging me: Bittorrent. On Windows XP I use Utorrent. After 4 years of experience with many BT clients I am convinced that utorrent is the king of the Windows BT world. It offers all the useful features of Azureus and Bitcomet in a very small footprint, doesn't eat the monstrous amounts of memory that Azureus needs, supports DHT and it is constantly updated. Since I decided to immerse me on OSX waters I have been looking for a descent bittorrent client but everything that I have found doesn't come even close to utorrent. The oficial client is not an option. I have tried Bits on Wheels and it looks really nice but the development appears to be halted after what I have been reading on the forums and it lacks a lot of functionality. These are the must have features that I am looking for: - Multiple torrents management on the same window. - DHT (distributed hash tracking) support for trackerless operation, this really means the difference between an average download speed and a lighting fast download, even with torrents with very few seeders. - General Health status report, not only per torrent. - Must allow selection of specific files to download inside the torrent. - Granular control of both upload and download speeds (global and per torrent) - Small footprint and memory use. - Stable If someone here knows about an application that covers these needs I will be very grateful to read a post about it. I have not tried Azureus on OSX due to the experience that i have from the PC world with it, it is just to bloated and eats too much memory. I have read that it's possible to run Utorrent on OSX using things like Wine and Cedega, but I am still hoping to find a native app for OSX. Thanks a lot! |
