| Azureus is the most complete/accepted client. There are a few lean new clients around, but they're missing features I sometimes need.

| I'm not sure whether this kind of subject is permitted by the mods here to be honest. Don't take it the wrong way but I reckon there would be better places to discuss this type of thing  |

| Erh... Go ahead, ignore my being a mod. It's perfectly okay, I think, to do a superficial comparison between bittorrent apps. No problem. But there can't be any trackernames that also feature copyrighted material illegally and the likes. Best not to talk about trackers in the first place.

| Another vote for Azureus here. I've tried various others but this gives the most functionality. Haven't used it in a while though.

| While it _does_ have the most functionality of any Mac bittorrent clients I've tried so far, it's also a rather ugly application, I find. The newer (beta) versions seem to go a way I don't really enjoy. I'd *looooooove* to find a neat clean Cocoa replacement - if only those could selectively download files from a torrent. Too often I only want to download one of several files in a torrent, or I want to prioritize single files from a torrent, and I miss such a feature terribly in all other Mac clients.

| xtorrent is not bad and it includes a search engine. Its integration in MacOS is much better... maybe too good as we lose some control.

| Transmission is an awesome application. It's much lighter weight than Azureus and does all that I need it to do. In fact, Azureus seems to slow down my computer when using it and has a much higher network usage. I notice it, because I play networked games when downloading stuff and there is no performance hit with Transmission. BitTorrent isn't just used for trading warez -.-, Blizzard hosts the Warcraft Client installer and patches via Bittorrent. I don't like the Blizzard downloader since I can't control the bandwidth it sucks up. But if I use a torrent client, I can better manage my bandwidth. |
