What is the best torrent downloader for the mac os?
and what are some good websites to find torrents?
 
Next time, try to use the search function before posting a topic as broad as this.

I see that you are new, but please, read the Forum Rules, most torrent search engines are have illegal content (duh), so we will NOT discuss this here.
 
Wait...why can't we discuss torrent engines? There are LOTS of legal torrents and as long as we don't discuss anything illegal, we're fine. Furthermore, the torrenting software is perfectly legal! Personally, I love Transmission!
 
Yah, linking to torrent sites is a no-no, however, for Torrent Apps there can be many legal uses. Transmission and xTorrent are prolly 2 of the best, until uTorrent port is finished, anyway.

Google will find you websites. :)
 
Transmission is the best, it is fast, lite, and shows your upload/download speeds in the dock.
 
Oh but there is something about the 3D view on Bits on wheels that is so good! It makes me feel as though its actually downloading! Sad the developer just went... site hasnt been updated for almost 3 years!

Anyone know of any other cool torrent clients that have the funky view like in Bits on wheels ill post a pic when i get one!
