hi again,
I am currently using the bitorrent client for the macs, i would like a better one, since it only works with some torrent files. I have tried Azureus, but it just bonces on the bottom bar then it disappears. I was wondering if there was a better one available, similar to bitcomet or if someone could tell me wht's wrong with my Azureus.

Transmission is the best hands down.

If you're trying to use Azureus on an Intel Mac, there's a special download for that one currently at: Intel Macs - AzureusWiki

I use Bits on Wheels. It has a lot more busy UI than Transmission but I like it because it give more info on what's going on.

Seconded about Transmission, simple and elegant. If only the app icon was cooler… (*)

(*) Yes, I have replaced it. But being available on different platforms, the Mac counterpart has to feature the nicest icon !

I third Transmission. I think that too much information is distracting and I only occasionally need to check some of the finer details. The latest release (Transmission) has a new Inspector icon in the toolbar which enables you to view detailed info about the torrent you are downloading. Perfect for my needs, and, it's fast.

Azureus. The only problem w/ this program is that you have to drag the torrent file into the window. Still has some slight bugs to work out. Allows file selection.

I used to use Transmission, but dumped it after finding out many trackers began to ban it due to ul/dl ratios being messed up. Thus dl output isn't nearly as fast as other bt clients that are reporting correct ratios. Also, another problem is it doesn't have a file selection option. The program is easy to use, but lacks refinement.

Since when? I can double-click.

Transmission is great. I also have "Tomato Torrent" installed.
