Alright, so which torrent client does everyone suggest? I had Transmission and like it (even though i couldn't do anything with it, we'll get to that in a minute though) but i read an article that Transmission was causing people macs to crash. I got worried and took it off my compute considering i just got my new macbook pro for christmas.

Once I get the client... (whichever one you guys suggest) how would I go about using it to download torrents... like i know how to do that part but the whole network connections part. it tells me my port is closed and the torrent just sits there telling me "30 or so days left"
Before you guys fuss me out, I am VERY aware that this is a common problem and is discussed elswhere on this site. but it is not clear to me at all. I think i need it broken down for me a little bit.

I'm going to go ahead and thank everyone who helps me in advance... so here goes... THANK YOU :)
