...or whatever they're called. I just got a Mac today and noticed that uTorrent is a Windows-only program. I've got something called Tomato right now, which seems to work OK, but does anyone know of any reputable programs?

Check out this site for a number of them:

If you search for "torrent" you'll get 18 hits.

Been using Azureus for 2 years or so and it has been great. Avaliable in OSX too.

No no no no ... don't get any of those!

The only client you need for OS X is Transmission ... nice name huh?

www.transmissionbt.com/ (http://www.transmissionbt.com/)

Azereus is a Java client, and thus inherently slower than a native app, however, it runs on most OSs ... whatever.

Honestly, give Transmission a try ... I've found it to be the best for OS X.
