Topic: Bit Torrent MAC OSX what do I need?

[cleantone]

I'm off dial up. What do I need to start seeding and d/l Torrents? In OSX?

Thanks

There are at least a couple Mac BT clients listed in the Archival Info forum BT Seeding thread.  I vaguely recall a few people here liking Tomato.

I've been using Azureus. WOrks well loads of options. I've used Tomato to seed a torrent but thats about it.

Thanks, does tomato have better seeding abilities or does it matter?

It shouldn't really matter, mostly a question of which feature set you prefer.  I haven't used the Mac s/w, but in WinDoze, the original BT client is a little short on user-friendly features, and I suspect the same is true for Mac.  So I use ABC (which isn't available on Mac).  Tomato probably has a better feature set and is likely more user friendly, so I'd try it first over the original client.
