Best Torrent Client I've used but it badly needs an update and looking at the website I fear the developers may not be supporting the product anymore.
I'm using on Tiger but a friend has had bad experiences with leopard.

Too many crashes right off the bat - Version: 1.0.6, 4/18/2008 02:18PM PST

This thing crashed on my Quad core Using OS 10.4.11 multiple times. I was only downloading one torrent but the instability of this software has made me want to use something else. Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off "uploading". It appears to be stuck on open permanently.

The best for Mac without question, but PLEASE UPGRADE FOR LEOPARD! - Version: 1.0.6, 2/19/2008 12:00AM PST

This is by far the best torrent download app for Mac OS. I tried many things before including Azureus and Utorrent when I first got my Mac, but nothing compares. I love the simple interface and the 3D swarm (shown above) is very cool. It's easy to use and doesnt have any of the extra shit that clogs up your system and downloads! Whereas nobody else in my house can use the internet while running azureus or utorrent aas they take up all the bandwidth, bitonwheels is happy enough to run on the backround and everyone can still get good speeds on the internet. But it's quite dippy with Leopard... still better than Azureus and all that once you mess around with the settings but PLEASE UPGRADE!! I need bitsonwheels!
