    Any suggestions for GOOD torrent software. So far, Azureus, Acquisition, BitTorrent, and Transmission have let me down. All came highly recomended, but all have been awful at finding seeds and dealing with trackers. Coming from Windows I REALLY liked uTorrent and found it to work very well, but there is no mac port yet.

    Suggestions?

    WHY DO YOU WANT TORRENT SOFTWARE? HUH? HUH? LOL.

    Azureus is supposed to be the best torrent software, from what I've heard. Try BitComet.

    Download all the latest linux builds quickly ;) And something that'll run on OSX, I'm pretty sure BitComet is only for windows.

    I heard the best things about Azureus and, as mentioned above, bitcomet.
    Personally, I use Azureus. Exactly how did it let you down?

    I'll second that, Bits on Wheels is a fantastic BitTorrent client.

    I wish I could run it on Windows.
