Stick With uTorrent
laphotographerJune 8, 2012
Pros
It wont take too long to delete
Cons
I tried to download a file already on the Q of uTorrent so i t wouldn't let me. The even after I took it off the Q and tried again it still wouldn't. Then it wouldn't let me download anything. No reason to switch if on uTorrent. If not then give it a try.
Summary
Works perfectly!

Pros
Open Source, lightweight, mac specific client that is not only efficient but a delight to your eyes. Well designed and blazing in all its tasks. With each new update, the client has only been getting better.
Cons
None at all! I wish computer users, especially the ones on the mac realized the benefits and importance of using and supporting a mac specific software application. The success of Transmission will encourage other developers to invest more in mac specific software.
Summary
Ok i guess

Pros
it is fast and easy to use very self explanatory
Cons
there is no delete torrent file and keep data button. i have never tormented on a mac before only windows so this may just not be available for mac but if that is the case then i have found no cons with the program so far
Summary
It simply to use and just works

Pros
It's intuitive, faster than many, and usually does everything I expect of such a program. It's the best I've found and it's often updated.
Cons
None, though I'm no expert. I do use it fairly often, though.
Summary
simple and intuitive

Simple, small, intuitive user interface. It is constantly updated. Works with magnet links as well. I have been using it since the beginning and I never regret it.

If any the "monitor" window that it is alway on top.
