Thx but I'm not gonna pay if there's some free options that are available....
After reading your post, i went over a website called mac-p2p.com
They suggested iSwipe.
Do you know it?
never used it.
my personal experience is that eDonkey/aMule has most search result. but they are NOT fast to download. BT is much faster if u can find the torrents.
Kazaa has good resource too.
ftw is short for 'for the win'.
I mean that they are often much better than P2Ping, especially with selective downloads in the latest Transmission beta (download link), meaning you can download as many or as little of the bundle of files included in the torrent.
Xtorrent is the absolute best. It is from the guy who wrote Acquisition. You will need to pay for it, but it is so so worth it.
It's also not a bad idea to want to pay private developers, I mean thats why we get all this cool software in the first place.

Xtorrent isn't fastest.
and there are many freewares out there who are very cool and free.
Would you mind to give some examples...
Oh and yeah I uninstalled Transmision. I couldn't read any of the mp3 and movies I downloaded. Plus half of them nerver actually downloaded
Anyone ever tried Poisoned or Frostwire [like limewire but different
]I use Acquisition for small files and Transmission for larger ones. Torrents are the way to go if you have patience and there's no rush for the actual file. I don't pay for Acquisition, but the bouncing icon every ten minutes is almost enough incentive to make me do so.
May I ask how old you are? Cuz you sound like 12 (being generous)... no offense but your comment is useless and irrelevant.
PS:Have you ever thought that some people want small files fast (ie mp3s) so they dont want to wait hours/days in some cases to have them?
Feature wise its ok, but in terms of resource usage its a big old turd on both OS X and PC. There is a derivative of it called BitTyrant which looks identical but seems to be quite a bit faster and is supposed to download faster although some have said that they didn't see any difference.
