Azureus is good, and has some great features.

I prefer XTorrent's all-in-one approach, but it does have some downsides...

howdy psychofreak;

I understand Azureus is a hog on memory and can cause some problems

What do you think on Tomato Torrent - - I am iMac 1.8 running OS X 1.3.9

i see Tomoato Torrent has 1.2 or 1.5b1

Cheers thanks

I have never used tomato torrent, but if you're looking for something simple like that then I reccomend Transmission...

Azureus or Transmission are your choices... both have ups and downs, try them and decide for yourself what works best for you.
I used them both and find myself switching between this 2 periodically.

Yes there are more like Tomato etc. but I haven't used those so I can't tell

If you're a masochist like me and like using a program that has practically no support whatsoever, you can download Bits on Wheels, the project is practically dead, but the client has a pretty 3D representation of your file downloading, kinda like the swarm tab in Azureus, only better.

Transmission is the best IMO.

I give Tomato Torrent another vote. Small, elegant and simple

Howdy Folks:

thanks for all the 411- I am giving transmission a try right now

Now - afterwards do you just watch on your computer or can you put on disc?

Cheers ya

You can burn/copy it to any external media.

I use Transmission. Very light and works great.

Howdy dllavaneras:

Will I have to run it thru Mac'Ripper and then Toast

i.e. i am looking at 13 episode - I think comes on 4 disc..

Or is Transmission self expaln on this

Cheers thanks

I like Transmission.

I've tried the others but I come back to Azureus despite it needing Java. It has options the others can't touch and I love that I can do selective downloads from a torrent. Makes life, oh so much, easier when only needing a file or two from a bundle.
