I’m using Transmission 1.01 and it is bad ass. I get 100kbs to 300kbs all the time. Average 150kbs. I will still get uTorrent for Mac when it comes. Note, use Bitjunkie it has the most seeds.

I’m using uTorrent Windows Edition on my Mac OSX via CrossOver Trial Edition which works for 30 days. IT IS 10 TIMES FASTER THAN AZUREUS! I got the instructions on running uTorrent at http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-run-utorrent-in-osx/ It is well worth your time to do this!!!

Ah, finally!
I dropped Azureus for the Mac because it eats up your resources, and to be quite honest, that is about the only reason I see to change Torrent-clients at all.

I can also recommend Transmission, a very cool and light client, with an amazing arsenal of options beneath it’s friendly user-interface.

But, I will of course try ÂµTorrent!

Btw, w/o describing the exact test procedure it’s a bit hard to believe any stats. Since default settings vary (such as number of connections, number of upload slots) and download speeds also depend on the swarm, luck (since clients are picked at random) etc. the your test results are not really trustworthy.

And then there are torrents where the client’s implementation doesn’t play a role at all: the overseeded ones.

So please be more careful when comparing speed…

The CPU/Memory consumption on the other hand is obvious ;)

I agree, the speed has nothing to do with the client used. Azureus isn’t a loweight client and everybody know it, otherwise it wouldn’t be coded in java.

Holy crap those speeds are fast. The absolute max I get is around 150kbs. You must have a crazy internet connection.

Don’t think so…

Does UPnP work in the mac uTorrent client? It sure doesn’t on PC, while Azureus UPnP works great.

It’s nice to get your client in active mode without jumping through hoops to forward ports on a router.[/quote]

UPnP works great for me on PC (uTorrent)
