Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

First of all, a package installer for just an application is a bit overboard. Users are usually weary of packages since it doesn't show what is being installed. I recommend a .zip or a .dmg.

Opening the app shows up a Preferences window. Dismissing the window quits the app. That's odd. There's no way to get rid of this window.

Opening a torrent brings a huge window to front and spits far too much info to the console. Maybe useful in a debug version, but not a release version.

The textured buttons on an aqua background is a no-no, really.

AnalogX has produced some amazing Win apps. Not sure why BitPump has shown up on MacOS but with a few UI changes it'll be a contender for best Mac OS BT client.

Possibly, but so far it's more like a beta version. I just wished it didn't pump the console log full like crazy of redundant info or I'd try it out some more to check what's under the hood.
