Im currently using BootCamp, but its a pain to restart my computer because im only using it to use Utorrent. If I went with parallels could I be using Utorrent via parallels well even though I was working in the mac OS? Also would this affect the speeds of utorrent any way? Thanks
Got a tip for us?

You could, but why not the great latest Transmission beta (warning: download link) now with selective downloads and prioritising ?
EDIT: OK, even though I have no idea why I/anyone would want that
There really isn't anything I can see that is better than the very stable (hasn't had any problems since the day it was released) Transmission beta.

I use Transmission, yet I wish it would allow file select. Azureus on the other hand I have tried and experienced terrible speeds. Transmission is what I generally use but I just wish it allowed RSS + File select. I know Azureus has these but the speeds just arn't satisfactory for me.
and just how much effort did it take to set up azureus vs. utorrent? all you need is a couple of forwarded ports and trivial dl/ul speed caps changed and it should work just fine.
0.80 beta, its near the bottom of the page and labelled 'Transmission-latest.dmg', though I thought (and it works, at least in Safari) that I linked to a download...
Is it what I think it is? Does it allow file select and RSS???? Im currently using bootcamp downloading a single file on utorrent haha so I cant check right now? But if I understand you correctly are you saying this is a newer version with these things!! Garr im so excited I need to go back to OS X but my files nearly dld on bootcamp!
No problem. Prioritising (those 3 bars next to the file select list) also rocks...
Get Parallels only if you need Windows running simultaneously with Mac Os. Otherwise try to search for Mac-based alternatives, this will be more memory-effective.
