![]() Paying for software just isn’t in my blood. Perhaps that’s just because I’m a Windows user. Launch your Mac torrent client and start downloading torrents. Choose a server in a safe location where torrenting is allowed. Launch the VPN software and log in using your credentials. Pros: It has an inbuilt web browser, RSS reader, web interface, and remote control. You can define the anonymous mode for setting up a specific network interface for transmission. It is easy to use and simple to understand. But to be completely honest, it just doesn’t seem like it’s worth the money. Download and install the VPN software on your Mac. This popular torrent downloader is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux systems. Xtorrent looks good, it integrates well with iTunes, has iPod support and subscribes to RSS feeds. Azureus still leads by a wide margin in download speeds, and Transmission is hands down the lightest BitTorrent client for the Mac. If you decide to buy Xtorrent you’re mostly paying for the (stunningly) beautiful user-interface, not because its download speeds are the best or because it is the lightest BitTorrent client available for the Mac. This library is known to hammer trackers, and is banned from an increasing number of them, which makes Xtorrent useless for members of Oink, for example. I really like the program and the integrated search feature. ![]() The second drawback is that Xtorrent’s core is made up of the libtransmission library. I recently started trying a program called Xtorrent to download torrent files off the internet. To make things even worse, it seems like the application throttles the available bandwidth to 10kbps after an hour of usage. If you do not register the application, a floating window that you cannot close gets stuck on your screen, and searches randomly start to fail. In addition, Xtorrent has a very intrusive shareware policy. The first major drawback of Xtorrent is that it is not free, which is extremely unusual and awkward for a BitTorrent client. However, issues like the problematic libtransmission library, and the intrusive shareware policy make this client a lot less attractive. Save your money, there are much better free apps. My Mac has the correct software and the ISP speed is fine. In September, we reviewed the first public beta, which initially looked like a promising application. There also appears to be no way to contact the guy I paid the 25 to. Xtorrent, the new BitTorrent client for Mac OS X, just rolled out of the beta phase.
