It comes with an AppleScript file that you can place in folders you want to download to. I think it desrves a mention because I know a few people who swear by it. It’s based on the official BitTorrent client. Is a very plain alternative, seriously lacking in eye-candy and begging for a new icon (and maybe a new name too). We call the feature ‘Selective Downloading’ and Azureus is sadly the only popular Mac B.T.Ĭlient that lets me do that! There are also a number of great plug-ins for Azureus that let you do all sorts of things like subscribe to RSS feeds with.torrent enclosures. The one reason I have both Azureus and Transmission installed at any given time is because Transmission doesn’t allow me to select which files I want from a particular torrent. Therefore it remains one of the most popular clients, even on the Mac. It’s slightly slower than all the other native Mac B.T.Īpplications, but has features none of the others can boast of. Is a cross-platfrom BitTorrent client written in Java. Now just like everything Transmission has its flaws, the biggest of which is that Demonoid, a leading BitTorrent directory has banned it on ocassion! They say it doesn’t adhere to set standards. Another great thing Transmission does is copy the.torrent file to its support folder, then trash the original file from my desktop thereby leaving no mess of files behind for me to clean up. A neat feature it offers is the ability to view download and upload rates in the dock, so I don’t even have to open up the program to check how my downloads are going. It’s an Open Source project, maintained by the developer of the popular Mac DVD ripping application, HandBrake. BitTorrent OSX also takes an age to start up on my MacBook Pro.

Now some people wouldn’t mind something like that, but if you’re looking for simplicity Transmission is a much better choice. It’s as feature-full as Safari’s download box and that’s not saying much. Is a very (and I mean very) basic application. It’s gotten kind of confusing since he named the protocol, his company and his application all BitTorrent. Let’s start with the granddaddy of them all, Bram Cohen’s self-titled BitTorrent application. Tip: Want to download Torrents anonymously? Try, a great way to download torrents securely.
