"NOT compatible with OS X 10.2.8 or less"
Version: BitTorrent 4.0.2
Pros
i don't know if there are any since it doesn't run
Cons
there's no Compatibility info at all but does not work with anything less than 10.3. I expected better than this. It tries to open and instantly quits... no warning no expanation. Very Frustrating. Now i have to go dig for an old version or a client that works.

"It's alright..."
Version: BitTorrent 4.0.2
Pros
It's fast
Cons
- bad interface
- does not give much info on the torrent that it's downloading
- RAM hog
- Have to open another bittorrent window for every torrent you download
- Has "donate" buttons and signs everywhere
I suggest getting BitTornado or Azureus. BitTornado is the same as BitTorrent but gives you more info about the download and more customizable.

"I'm lovin' it!"
Version: BitTorrent 4.0.1
Pros
Good that BitTorrent finally has got som preference! It could be just me, but I found that the new version is much faster then the old once.
Cons
It's to easy to use it for illigal downloading and piracy. Misses portals for legal sharing.

"Good product"
Version: BitTorrent 3.3a
Summary
Comparing to the range of products we got on mac , this one is a very good one .
As usual on mac the interface and options are very poor (comparing to what they do for windows) .
But the system IS working and once you get to know where to search your torrents files , you're fine . Cause that soft will do it for you and will always add new connecting uploaders automatically .
Comparing to X factor it might seem slow , but realize that the speed is always constant , finally I prefer this kind of download
Of course , it depends what kind of files you're looking for
The bigger files u look for , the best it is -
"Very minimalistic, very effective"
Version: BitTorrent 3.3a
Summary
Just make sure the .torrent files are linked to this app and it does what is has to do almost invisible like you are unstuffing a file or so.
