Hey guys,

I've just got my first mac. The macbook pro! :D

What programs can i user for torrents? azuerus looks pretty naff, the 3.0 new version.

Utorrent don't make a mac version :(

Also, do i need to run any anti virus software?

Should i bother installing firefox, or just get used to safari?

I use Azureus but it seems to be getting worse for memory hogging recently! Transmission is good, but it doesn't seem to like finding seeds and peers.

I don't run any anti-virus

Depends what you use a web browser for - If you don't need the likes of firebug, developer toolbar and whatnot, then Firefox is the only one (with aronnax's themes), other than that, safari is great (if a little RAM hungry)
 
how do you do that? I just click advanced as soon as it opens, but if you can disable it, that would be great
 
Transmission is extremely lightweight and simple.

I dont use anti-virus personally, never felt the need. *Touches wood*

I use Safari, didnt use it in Tiger as it was pants but they really have given it a boost in Leopard. The web-clips is a good idea for Dashboard also. The only downside is that it can be a bit of memory whore but with a MBP you should be fine.
 
Welcome to the MBP Owner's club, black tie optional :cool:

  • Transmission - Lightweight torrent client, very easy to use
  • Safari - Easily the fastest and best looking web browser on OS X
  • I don't run Anti Virus (I never did on PCs either)

Plenty of "essential application" recommendations in the sticky that are worth look, including a choice of torrent clients.
