uTorrent (Mac Beta) is now available...

[rajputwarrior]

^ that's the thing, you have a lot of torrents organized and what not, Transmission isn't the greatest...

[what]

Using now, cheers ;)

[nomis_nehc]

Better than transmission?

The download link says 'Mac OS X 10.5 Intel' but it's working here on a G5...looks nice

Yeah, I've heard this, too. It must be an unlisted Universal Binary.

so any reason to move from Transmission, as I am not really having any issues with it?

[b0m8er]

wow! finally I can have my favorite torrent client on MacOS! Awesome!

Well, I'm getting better speeds through uTorrent - seeds are being picked up much faster and I'm getting a better connection out of them. And as giga said earlier the column view is far more usable than Transmission's list view.

Using it now, and I have to say I'm impressed. The interface is clean, simple, and the torrent list is very economical when it comes to space.

I'd like to see some badging for the uTorrent dock icon, though.

This just might get me to switch from Transmission, though I have yet to do a more in-depth comparison regarding performance.

Transmission works fine for me...

But it's good to see that both apps are the reference and are of awesome quality

Macs are not known to have a long list of software, but the ones that exist just work and that's what I like :)

[churchonsundays]

i dont know about you guys. but using transmission with private torrent sites sucks. it never uploads for me.

i usually boot to windows and use utorrent if im on the private torrent sites..

hopefully utorrent for mac will fix my problem.

This is what I'd prefer uTorrent to look like:

so I used uTorrent for a bit, but felt dirty for using it over Transmission :\ had to go back.

I like it except for that stop button. Send the image to the utorrent devs though. ;)

:laugh: too funny

I'm getting used to uTorrent...it is much lighter on resources. Very nice for an initial release, we'll see how it progresses.

Nice work. Send it off.

As for uTorrent, I'm loving it.

It's such a clean, simple interface, where everything is accessible in one place. I love the way the torrents are listed. It feels very light and it seems to play better with my router configs.

[perochan]

using it now. so far so good.

QUICK update:

used for couple days and still unstable. my CPU went to 100% for no reason while downloading. i will wait for non-beta version and use transmission meanwhile.

[John S. Veteran]

Mine's starting to peg out too at 100% after leaving it on for a few hours.

[CPressland]

Mine too..

I'm jealous @ the Mac version. It looks like sex.

All OS X Applications are visually superior to Windows Applications in my opinion, but thats because Apple have some pretty big rules on what you can and cant do with their System. They like everything to look the same/similar so that users wont get confused everytime they move to another application or install something new.

I think is a great idea, but I also see the downside of it.
