QBitTorrent is the best torrenting client out there, being both open source and full of featuresĪs a long-term Vuze fan, it took quite something for this lightweight open source BitTorrent client to replace Vuze on my desktop. Take a look at what ProPrivacy considers the best of the best to torrent with: Transmission 1.0 proves again that you can't stop the signal.There are many BitTorrent clients out there to choose from and not all of them were built equal. As for performance, coincidentally, Transmission 1.0 comes in the middle of a strike by the Writer's Guild of America, so it looks like testing will actually have to be done using ISO images of Ubuntu. According to a forum post, Leopard is also strongly recommended " because the interface is designed to work well in Leopard, and has some minor Tiger-only bugs." An earlier issue with port forwarding was my only complaint, and I haven't seen it in a while. The UI change is readily apparent, smooth and polished, and in keeping with Leopard's look.


Still, the latest version has a number of improvements and fixes, including: Transmission, everyone's favorite-or at least mine-BitTorrent client for Mac OS X and other Unix flavors has reached the 1.0 milestone (not that it wasn't perfectly usable as a beta).
