Now the lightweight power and performance of µTorrent is available for Apple Mac.
This is beta software, and may contain serious bugs. We think it’s stable enough to share and hope your feedback will help us improve it.
Please share your feedback on our forums.
More info and download link for µTorrent Mac βeta (ver. 0.90, Mac OS X 10.5 Intel) here.
They would have to bring something more than what Transmission already offers.
I agree with Mystical. Transmission why use anything else.
Transmission…
‘Nuff said!
I was really excited for this to be released. then i tried transmission. All of a sudden i no longer care about utorrent.
Three cheers for Transmission!!!

Transmission is very reliable, with lots of good features that don’t get in your way, but are there if you need them. And its UI fits beautifully with OS X. Hard to think of a better torrent app for the Mac.
The µTorrent folks have plenty of catching up to do – and more power to ’em! The better they make their Mac version, the more good Mac apps we have to select from, which is always a good thing.

Transmission, Tomato, Acquisition …
I use Transmission on my Mac atm but I primarily use uTorrent and nothing beats it… it’s like Transmission and Vuse mixed together and gives me all the power I need out of a torrent program without taking over half of my processor… I can’t wait for it 😀
You seriously telling me I can go back to 2002 on my new MacBook! Wow! Can’t wait to be part of the “swarm!” Maybe I can be lucky enough to pick up a new Limewire, Kazaa or Napster client as well!?! Hopefully I’ll finally be able to dump this Transmission program that’s just been working perfectly?
You know it’s worth saying that that Mr. Balmer sure does attract the brightest of the bunch to his platforms…I hope he is able to “lead” forever!
Why are you all loving transmission? Xtorrent is better as it allows you to search for torrents old napster style and is a torrent manager as well.
I agree with Tim. Xtorrent is by far the best torrent application on the Mac and beats everything else hands down even on Windows !

cant even queue on utorrent for mac .. can queue on utorrent for pc .. will stick with transmission ..
i was hoping the mac version of utorrent will be able to queue torrent files…
Xtorrent has nice search, and I started out with XTorrent.
However with more then a dozen or so torrents in the repos. it becomes an unstable CPU hog. It can hang itself up over nothing.
I have yet to see Transmission do that. It’s way more reliable!
Hey guys, thanks for all the recommendations for Transmission. I’m trying it out now, and so far I’m liking it better than Vuse (Azureus). Too early to tell on just one torrent but so far the d/l speed is better than anything Vuse ever did, and the U/I is way less overwhelming.
Nice to have something to help me get HD copies of content I have purchased that will play on our church data projector for the youth group.
Only kidding, for now…
