bouche Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 why mac specific? The formats are the same for vids and audio... as far as I know.so like mininova.org will have torrents to tv and movies for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggzz Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 my roommate just bought a new mac laptop and the torrent program he was using before with his pc didn't work, don't know what he was using but I really wasn't sure if there was any difference. Thanks for your help though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_rawk Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Diggzz - as Bouche pointed out, the actual torrent sites you use don't make a difference. For downloading a Mac bittorrent client (which is what it sounds like you need), the official bittorrent client comes in a Mac flavour and you can get it here:BitTorrent download pageAzureus is popular on PCs and Macs, and you can grab it here. You'll need to have a properly configured JAVA environment, though.There is also Tomato Torrent. I know nothing about it, but it is billed as a Macintosh BitTorrent Client.Good luck.

mattm Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Azureus is popular on PCs and Macs, and you can grab it here. You'll need to have a properly configured JAVA environment, though.I'm not the hugest fan of Java since the JVM takes quite a bit of memory which seems superflous but I'm a programmer so I think that way. I would definately recommend it, though, as, along with uTorrent (by far my most recommended PC torrent app), it has the option to encrypt the packets which means a much less chance that packet sniffers will be able to identify it as a torrent and slow it down (once all the ISP's start implementing those systems).

fluffhead77 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 i find Azeureus works well with both my macs...if you need something that uses less resources try Bittorrent for OSX...google search should do it...Tomato torrent is also very easy to use...

Esau. Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Stop by after work Alexis, I have both those (actually whole season) and can burn em off for you. They are rar files, so you would just have to copy them to you HDD and uncompress them, then watch. Faster the downloading em anyway.Let me know and I'll burn them off.
