David Watanabe, Acquisition and NewsFire developer, today released Xtorrent 1.1, a Mac OS X BitTorrent client, which brings many significant features, including:
• individual file selection, so you can pick only the files you need
• file priorities
• a refashioned downloads pane
• significantly faster searching
• faster downloads
More info and download link here.
MacDailyNews Note: Another excellent (and free) BitTorrent client for Mac OS X is Transmission, which was updated to version 0.81 just last week. More info and download link here.

Anything to help in the Nobody’s Bitch Cause! (NBC)
$24? I think I’ll just go check The Pirate Bay
David Watanabe is a THIEF
Just ask the people who paid for Acquisition and their registration codes suddenly failed.
Did they get a refund or new code? Like hell they did, all they got was a big F U from David Watanabe.
Avoid this software like the plague.
I still don’t understand why writers of these types of apps charge so much for it. It almost like expecting a fish to buy bottled water.
WTF:
Why would anybody that torrents pay for a torrent client?
Unfortunately, Azureus is the only client I know for the Mac that does encryption. My ISP is known for packet shaping.
Man, no one could accuse the news around here today of being subtle.
But does it require the punching of holes in your firewall?
I use an older version of Transmission, because the latest versions require that you open holes in your firewall.
Not!
Well
Steve Jobs did say; “It’s better to be a pirate than to join the Navy”
i just did a couple of tests, its seems Xtorrent (for me) is faster than Azureus. (yes it was exactly the same torrent). both were set to unlimited download speeds.
I believe. That US Americans. Can’t price TV shows. Such as NBC, the News Corp. Because they have no price maps. And our education should help NBC, and the News Corp, and the such-asses. To provide maps. So that the News Corp and the Americans, such as Murdercock, don’t need to use such as the torrents or Limewire, or yeah, for the benifit [sic] of our childr….
This is a REALLY great product.
I suggest giving it a whirl!
Encryption will not stop packet shaping, thinking it does is delusional.
All it does is stop them from seeing exactly what it is that you are trading-does not hide the fact it is p2p traffic.
If a bit torrent client does not have holes through the firewall, how do you expect it to work?
“…and the Americans, such as Murdercock”
He’s Australian
Xtorrent is the best torrent app I have ever used, bar none. Likewise, Acquisition is far, far better than LimeWire.
Quad Core,
Murdoch is American. He had to take out American citizenship to move Newscorp over to the the U.S. of A. But hey do you think Uncle Rupert has any nationalism. It’s all about power and influence.
One other point about Murdoch, he’s the tightest billionaire on the planet. He doesn’t give one cent to charity. Nothing, not a brass razoo. There are philanthropists and then there’s Rupert. He’s tighter than a cane toad’s arse.
Transmission is a GREAT bittorrent client….!
transmission is banned on alot of sites. xtorrent is nice for its search feature but hella expensive for a pirate software.
Xtorrent is banned on some private trackers just for the cheek of charging for torrent software. Transmission now has all its bugs fixed that caused it to be banned. But that didn’t fix the fact that its a huge great resource hog, although not as much as azureus etc. Best client by far is rTorrent (google it) if you know your way round the terminal. MacPorts is the easiest way to get it on your Mac.
I prefer to use Tomato Torrent, I have always had good luck with this app, and its based upon the actual BitTorrent (original app). And it seems to works better for me than Azureus, and Transmission.

I know, it pisses me off too, but damn, I still like their service. I;ve got everything else with them: HD Cable, Mobile, etc.
Used Xtorrent for quite some time. It’s been great for me and finally the ability to download individual files from complete sets is the icing on the cake that gives Azureus the boot.
Have you used it? The interface is great. Once you have configured the search in Preferences this app is a doddle to use and catch up on TV episodes you’ve missed.
Yes I agree buying shareware Apps can be a little hit-or-miss where quality is concerned, but this App isn’t priced too high for me to worry about my wallet and not to low for me to not to look at seriously.
Great! this helps propagate content for the “People’s television network” like this:

“”…and the Americans, such as Murdercock”

No, he’s not. He became an American citizen a few years back, after he’d bought everything in Australia, so that he could own your media too….
