uTorrent (Beta) for Mac released

Posted on 27 November, 2008 by Jimmy Liew

Apparently on the Windows side of things, there is much love for µTorrent, a light-weight, full-featured bitTorrent client for much of your Bukit-Timah goodies. On the greener side of the world, us Mac users had to settle for the much bloated Java client Azureus for a period of time before we were introduced to Transmission.

I have been using Transmission since then as it takes up a smaller chunk of the processor and serves my TV needs. It can even run smoothly on a 6 year old PowerMac QuickSilver on 512MB ram.

Will µTorrent be as good as Transmission, or will you be bothered? Check it out yourself but do note that it is at beta right now. (Download link).

Let us know if you have tried it.
