So I stumbled upon this BitTorrent client.
Somehow I never heard of it before, but it offers some neat stuff. From the dev.'s page.
About This Version

The main goal of this project was to separate the BitTorrent code from the Macintosh code, so that either can be updated without having to modify the other. I got 80% of the download window’s current functionality implemented within 3 days of starting the project. Then I decided to finish “just a bit more,” and the project just kept getting bigger and bigger.

Features

Built on BitTorrent 3.3
Remembers recent downloads and where you’ve saved them to, making resumes quick and easy
Shows detailed download statistics
Shows detailed information about torrent files
User interface for torrent generation allows you to specify torrent comments
User interface for starting a torrent tracker on your Mac
Most BitTorrent options are fully customizable
Supports Unicode torrents
shows a lot of what's happening on your network, a very good improvement over the regular client.

I've been using the Java app Azureus and it's pretty stunning in it's display and control.

I couldn't find screenshots of the one you posted. Can you post/link some or point to any you've found?

I am using Azureus as well and have been very happy with it for the most part. I've had ha hard time getting the built-in tracker to work though. As a client, it's quite nice.
