dude you uTorrent sucks ass, Vuse sucks, xTorrent sucks and transmission definitely sucks. i am having so much trouble seeding torrents from demnoid and uploading especial Vuse and TransmissionBT. and on the beta of snow leopard if you run transmision your computer will freeze. it is unstable.

Demonoid should make there own BT client for mac, windows and linux

Then it would be easier lol

uTorrent downloads and seeds quite well, gives good statistics and runs well in the background, but it doesn't seem to have the ability to create a torrent. Am I missing something?

uTorrent IS for OSX now. Maybe you could spend 20 seconds in Google before shooting off that reply. http://mac.utorrent.com/

No one should ever use Transmission ever again!!! Everyone: download UTorrent. It's free, google it, and download it. So much faster than Transmission. I was downloading a 6 GB file on transmission, took 5+ days. Downloaded the same thing using UTorrent, took a few hours.

To the author of this article: Thank you SOOOOOO much. When I updated to the newest BitTorrent, it began driving me mad with DL interruptions caused by errors (not to mention a host of other annoyances). After I read this article and DL’ed Transmission, not only did the interruptions cease (that alone >10x’ed the functional rates) – but also the max UL rate quadrupled, which had the side benefit of doubling the max DL rate.

Since I’m a Comcast user, I dunno whether that’s because Transmission is that much more robust, or because Transmission data flies under the radar of Comcast’s “traffic shaping.” But either way, I’m very grateful. To the author, and to Transmission’s developer: THANK YOU.

Xtorrent is a nice and simple program as well.

Greate guide, I downloaded Transmission after reading this article (newbie Mac user)… worth noting, however, is that Transmission DOES have selective downloading! Not just Azureus.
