Best Bit Torrent Client for Mac?

DarkShadow · 19 Oct 2006 at 17:25

As thread title, currently using Bit Rocket and as it's in its beta stages it crashes regularly.

I want to avoid Azureas for now as I only have 512mb of RAM.

Are there any other decent BT clients out there that are light/normal on resources?

Transmission

I originally started with Transmission but now I like XTorrent. The search feature is pretty nifty.

Transmission is my favourite although it is banned by a couple of trackers. Tomato is a decent light client although I think it's running quite an old version bit torrent.

Is XTorrent the new one by the chap that did Newsfire and Acquisition?

Uses Java and it hogs system RAM like a baby and his milk bottle.
