Ok. So I found out that Transmission caused all of the instability on Leopard, causing graphic glitches and hangs throughout the system, even after quitting it. Not cool, since Transmission was my favorite torrent client, having good speeds and a simple interface. Quite a bummer really. I found out after having run Parallels (which I first thought was the culprit) for a week with no downtime. After having Transmission run for a day, boom, system freeze, chokes and graphic glitches.
Anyways I then went to my second best choice: Azureus which I remember was a bit slow on the interface side but at least stable and quick on the download side. I realize a new version called Vuze is out. Cool, maybe the made it even better? Wrong. They made it worse. Now it's some kind of Facebook/youtube client side thingy where I can do all sorts of private configuration except for one thing: I want to be able to look at number of seeders, leechers, up/down ratio etc. etc. but no. Not possible. Not only does this gargantuan of an application not show you the simplest information, it also has 20 or so tabs with different content and no consistent navigability, it also doesn't give any space for your actual downloads!! It's a not torrent app anymore, it's a party app with a feel of some malware website that spams all kinds of indifferent information into your face... What the hell is going on?
Anyways, the real point of this thread is to find an alternative to Transmission and this 'spamming client from Hell Vuze' which I will immediately remove for good on my system... Any good ideas?
