I’m sorry but it took 46 meaningless comments for someone to finally speak the word of God?

all of you GTFO, you have no place in this community.

hrmm.. that looks a lot like how Transmission is layed out. I would like to see the final release and see how the two are different.

Only problem i found with this is that when you go to remove the torrent it deletes all your data you just downloaded so just as a heads up make sure to install everything before deleting the torrent

I’m a Linux user and uTorrent is still my preferred client… even if I do have to run it through Wine :)

Looks good, works nice, still obvious alpha though. Finally a good client for Mac OS X! Hope Beta and RC’s come out soon!

It may “look better” than the Windoze build but at 1.26 MB this is total bloatware.

Ah, so after a couple years, it’s still behind?

Johan Bach, you are obviously uninformed about Transmission or haven’t used it in a very long time. You can set the max peers, it has ratio initiated stopping, it has scheduling. Aside from lacking DHT it’s very comparable to uTorrent now.

I don’t see why you just wouldn’t use Azureus? Seems to be the best client by far. Yep it’s a little bit of a hog but if you have 2gb of ram and a core2duo you’re hardly going to notice it.

When I was using Windows, uTorrent was definitely my favorite client. I’ve been using a Mac now for almost a year and have gone back and forth between Vuze (classic mode) and Transmission.

I personally like my Mac. I’ll admit, there are certain aspects of Windows that I wish Mac could catch up with. Unfortunately there is no perfect operating system that has everything anyone could ever want.

I am excited for this Mac release of uTorrent. Transmission (for the most part) is a nice client, but it still lacks some more advanced features, that and they seem to have buggy releases. I currently use Vuze in classic mode to save resources and the bloaty-crap interface. In terms of Mac clients, I think it’s fair to say that it is best all-around.

I think I’ll skip on the leaked Alpha and sign-up on their e-mail list, waiting patiently for the stable release
