Transmission is the only good native Mac app I've found. Azureus is okay too, of course, but it's a slower Java app and does some things weird.

I use an older version of XTorrent that doesn't throttle the speed or nag for registration.

Azureus. Everything else is too simplistic for my taste.

Another vote for Azureus. I've tried many others, but they always feel primitive and simple compared to Azureus.

it's "know", not "no".

Do you want to burn the torrent files themselves or the contents of the files downloaded by a torrent? If the latter, what format is your video in?
