Rammjet Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 BitRocket is a new BitTorrent client for MacOSX. It uses the open source libtorrent library. But the developer is alleged to be guilty of stealing other developer's code and using it without permission.

Swad Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I saw this last night and checked it out. It's got promise. I really hope he didn't steal OSS things without permission - that's a cardinal sin in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtm3dd Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 On the bittorent subject have any of you tried Tomato torrent - its (imo) the uTorrent of OSX - its quite small (not sure bout mem usage) and seems to be pretty rapid. However, it isnt hugely feature full but if you prefer performance - check it out. I just keep hearing about the search for a great torrent client for OSX - well this is mine.

brewno Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 On OSX I tried Azureus but even the newest version sucks (I love it on Windows, though, its the one I use). I tried Bits on Wheels, awesome, but for PPC... Im using now Transmission, and Im very impressed with it. So fast! So simple. But I just downloaded BitRocket, lets see what this baby can do.
