Applications:: Best BitTorrent Client For Mac? (Transmission) Apr 9, 2009 What is the best bit torrent client to use? I was looking into Transmission but not sure how popular it is? What do you guys think? Similar Messages:. ADVERTISEMENT Apr 5, 2009 I was wondering what is the best bit torrent client for mac os x from speed and security side of view Jun 21, 2005 Just wondered what you guys feel is the best BitTorrent client, personally I think Azureus is as I think it is the most customizable and I seem to achieve the fastest speeds with it. Jan 16, 2010 Since changing my ISP I have been unable to download anything through any bittorrent client.
Third Party Trademark Legal Notice: Mac, iMac, Macbook, OSX, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion, Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger are trademarks of Apple Inc. For many Mac users Transmission is the BitTorrent client of choice. Unfortunately, managing Transmission's BitTorrent downloads on the iPhone or iPad can only be done through a web-interface.
I've tried Tomato torrent, which gets stuck on the 'getting torrent info' part and Bits on Wheels, which gives me the tracking reply: 'problem communicating with web proxy server; I'm pretty sure that it's something to do with my network settings. The only problem being that I haven't a clue where to start! I have a 13' Macbook - pretty standard apart from a few upgrades to RAM and memory. Jun 25, 2010 I was downloading movie from vuze and it was so slow,so I switched to transmission and now when I download and.torrent file in the desktop the icon will remain as the vuze icon when I open it in transmission it say's its a duplicate. Jun 2, 2008 There's a bug in Transmission (the torrent program) that causes Macs to slowly crash and die.
But it's really sneaky because it doesn't appear to be caused by Transmission, even though it actually is. I thought this was important enough that everyone here needs to know about it because I'm an expert Mac user and even I didn't figure out that Transmission was the culprit for quite some time. I thought the problem was a sign of my Mac breaking.
What happens is your net connection stops working and you stop being able to switch open programs and/or you can't quit applications and you can't restart you computer without resorting to holding down the power button until it restarts, or other similar nuclear problems. Check it out: Dec 14, 2007 I've been looking for a decent P2P software for Mac. It seems that the selection is pretty limited. I understood the best eMule client is aMule (which is not very good.) What is the best BitTorrent client? And best overall P2P software?
Mar 29, 2009 I recently uninstalled transmission the bitTorrent client. I did this because it was taking too long and was told uninstalling it and reinstalling it might help.
When I went to reinstall it nothing happened. I clicked on the download button and the screen moved on to a plain white screen with the words transferring data at the bottom, the cursor had its little egg timer thing but it just sat there for ages. Nothing happened and after a few minutes I tried another client, same thing happened again. Or is it just me making a fool of myself?
I use max OS X 10.4.11 and my ISP is bt. Mar 31, 2010 All right, I'm wondering what the best IM client for OSX is at the moment? Preferably with video chat and an iPhone version. I'm currently trying trillian on OSX, seeing if its any good. And I've had a look at adium but trillian looks better.
Feb 6, 2009 I have been experimenting with many bittorrent clients for mac (utorrent, vuze, transmision, tomatotorrent) and they are all consistently slower to download a file that the original Bittorrent client for Windows. I compared them downloading the same file at the same time (the windows client running under parallels), and always the windows client beats the hell of the others. Is there a mac client comparably fast to the windows one? Feb 7, 2009 I'm new to Mac and downloaded Transmission. Coming from a PC, it seems too simple to function so smoothly. But, I still have questions. On a PC, I used to use Azureus and Peerguardian.
But, I'm at a loss as to what I need for a Mac. Anyway, what settings should I have on Transmission?
Under Preferences, I checked the Blocklist box 'Prevent known bad peers from connecting.' Does this act like Peerguardian? Should I download Peerguardian for the Mac? Is Transmission sufficient? What other applications do you recommend? Feb 14, 2009 The final version came out, and it definately connects faster and feels snappier try it out!
URL Apr 1, 2009 a few days ago my mac osx tiger burnt out its hard drive, before it did i used vuze and it worked fine, after taking my mac to the apple store to get a free new hard drive, it came back all other applications installed fine msn etc Apr 5, 2009 I got a new iMac on the weekend, so i transferred all my stuff over (by hand, not time machine cause i wanted a fresh install), I have a folder that i store my Transmission downloads in, so i put it back in the same place as it was on the old mac, and i kept all my old.torrent files. Now before if i deleted a torrent from the list but not the file, it would just check if the file was there and continue, but now it's not doing that, it's just overwriting them, because i had a few that weren't fully complete yet.
So i'm wondering, is there a way to make Transmission check and see if the file exists first and continue instead of redownloading it all? I clicked Verify Local Data and that did nothing. Sep 27, 2009 I'm using Transmission 1.75, Leopard 10.5.8, BT Home Hub with UPnP enabled and I've tested that it's working (my PS3 had no problems getting online and playing games). I'm having trouble seeding. It seems that people aren't able to see/connect to my computer. I've set my firewall to allow connections to Transmission (I've also tried using other clients), I've set my router and Transmission to UPnP, I've also tried using a static IP but that knocked me offline, I've tried port forwarding but that didn't work either.
I'm not sure what else to try. Has anyone had a similar problem, if so how did you fix it? Jul 18, 2010 does the transmission torrent app let anyone download my files on my mac? Without my permission? Dec 9, 2007 Ive noticed today, when i went to torrent some movies that when i add them, its not creating the file on my desktop, or anywhere on my mac But it still says its downloading? At the moment ive downloaded 62mb of a torrent and still no file has been created for it?
May 18, 2009 I am on the way to install Transmission on a Unibody 15'. I see the firewall has 3 different settings: Allow all incoming connections. Allow only essential services.
Set access for specific services and applications. Which setting would be most secure but still functional with Transmission? Oct 25, 2009 I am running the latest version of Transmission.

When I open a torrent and de-select several files (except for one album) the download will not start. It is almost like the tracker will not update. There are no Seeds, Peers or anything.
It says 'Time Remaining Unknown' I have attached the torrent files as TXT files if you are willing to rename the file to a.torrent file. I am only downloading one album from each of these torrents. Pinkerton, by Weezer and Double Fantasy by John Lennon. These torrents are healthy. Not sure why this would happen. Feb 24, 2010 I currently use transmission but it doesn't like to play well with VLC. When I run anything at all on VLC (mp3, movie, anything) the files playing will constantly skip or lag.
I turn off transmission, and viola, it works. Anyway, I do love Transmission but a buddy of mine says Vuze has been working great on his mac.
Anyone have any experience on both of these programs and why you choose to use that certain one over the other? Jun 13, 2010 I used 'Force Quit' on my Transmission (4 downloading, 19 uploading torrents) and when I opened it again, the downloading torrents were stuck on 'Checking existing data' and the% wouldn't move any higher. I did what some other people said and paused all of them, resuming one until the% went higher but nothing really happened. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Feb 1, 2009 when I quit Transmission it takes around let's say 30 seconds before it actually quits and this is a bit annoying. Does yours do the same? Apr 28, 2009 i installed transmission but the torrents never start downloading?!?!
They just stay there on 0%!? Jun 12, 2010 I'm just wondering what the best IRC client for OS X is. I've had a google, and tried out a few (like Colloquy), but nothing has really stood out so far. Nov 27, 2010 I've been using quite happily TightVNC on windows to connect my MP. Now I'm using MBP, so is there any decent VNC client for OsX where you can define zoom by% or slider. Preferably free or cheap. Apple's 'Screen sharing' offers only scaling on or off, which are for me either too small or too big.
Dec 3, 2010 It's called Weet and looks good so far. URL Sep 7, 2006 What Client For Torrents would you suggest. Jun 25, 2008 when I was out trying to set up a development environment on my Mac. (SVN, Bug Tracking, etc.) It's called Versions, and it's still in beta, but it seems really stable, and it's one of the best SVN clients I've ever used. I have no affiliation with the company or product at all, so this isn't a plug. I've just been using it constantly to manage some Xcode projects and a few other important documents between Macs, and I thought I'd share. Mar 22, 2009 I need a torrent client for downloading stuff but i can't decide which to use.
Oct 5, 2009 I'm looking for an FTP client that has a versioning system like that of SVN. Is there such an app?For instance, I'd like to be viewing the files to my website in the FTP client and know which files I've made changes to on my local system so I know if I should upload. Does the ftp file server have to be an svn host?
Transmission is a BitTorrent client for Mac that allows you to easily and quickly download any torrent file. It's great for all those users who are not still used to the torrent filesharing system. You only have to drag and drop the torrent file in the interface of the program and the download will start automatically. If you keep the file over the interface for a while, you'll see the title of the file you are about to download. Transmission also offers advanced configuration settings that will delight all those advanced users who like changing settings: limit bandwidth, view files, share only certain folders, etc.
