Xtorrent works great for me. It did crash once or twice while searching, but, hey, it's still in beta stage.

Transmission completely lost my interest because there's hardly any work being done on it's torrent core. It has a nice interface but lacks quality network abilities. Hopefully Xtorrent will proof to be different in the long run.

we need uTorrent for Mac.

I dont like any of the clients for Mac out there. Im going to try this one

If you have an Intel Mac, you can actually run it with CrossOver. I haven't tried it though.

I tried Xtorrent and I like it. Wouldn't pay for it though. It's nice to see all these new clients emerging. :)

Pretty sad that the devs of Transmission can't fix some simple bug fixes that's holding back a lot of mac users on private trackers.

Let's see if Dave can put something fresh out there that isn't Azureus or Tomato Torrent.

Btw, new bug fixes out. http://www.xtorrentp2p.com/releasenotes.php

Also, anyone have any experience with utorrent on crossover?

The way I read it was that Titer (the guy behind Transmission) wouldn't fix it rather than couldn't. Apparently he thinks it's fine, even if trackers are banning it.

After using Xtorrent since the first beta release & I'm pretty happy with the speeds so far. Had the odd crash but I guess that's to be expected of a beta. Hopefully new features will be added & it'll become stable with newer releases.

I'm currently using Public Beta 3 of Xtorrent, and I have to say I like it a lot better than Transmission at the moment. Unfortunately, there still doesn't appear to be any way of selecting individual files within a torrent, like nearly every other client does. Does anyone know if this is a planned feature for a future release?

I've been using this for about a month and I've already bought it and all future upgrades. Totally worth it, I absolutely believe it's the best torrent client for Mac.

Same :)

Love it, definitely the best torrent app i have used, even on windows.

Azureus is all there really is atm.

You really have no idea what uTorrent is? Pull your head out of your ass.

It puts all other clients to shame, including this one.

Unfortunately it isn't for mac.

Not with the recent merge with BitTorrent though.

Anyway, Xtorrent is the best client I've used since uTorrent and BitComet. The integrated search engine just works and is better than searching on the net.

Unfortunately, it isn't for Windows.

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com

      I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
