The main goal of the Tomato Torrent project was to separate the BitTorrent code from the Macintosh code, so that either can be updated without having to modify the other. I got 80% of the download window's current functionality implemented within 3 days of starting the project. Then I decided to finish just a bit more, and the project just kept getting bigger and bigger.

That said, other torrent engines - like Transmission and uTorrent - have come to dominate thanks to their relative ease of use and simplicity. There's no reason to struggle with configuration because all the features are available within a few keystrokes. A growing community of torrent clients reject Tomoto Torrent because ratios are difficult to manage.
This is. altogether, a creditable Torrent engine. It's just that Transmission and uTorrent are faster and easier to use.

the problems you all have with tomato obviously arise from not understanding the basics. and to the person who called this application "junk", eat a fat one. this was one of the first alternative torrent clients for os x and it is actually fairly configurable (see "advanced settings" when you start up a torrent). cripes people, get yourselves together.

Tomato's basic use is straightforward. The additional features are not commented for non expert users to even understand them. There is a menu supposed to regulate the ratio of download/upload volume but it does not work.
Stopping and restarting is very simple and efficient.
Compared to rapidshare downloads, I find torrent horribly SLOW (typically 3k/s downloads with 2 peers and 3 seeds) and I almost systematically upload more than I download. It is getting even worse as the size of the downloaded file increases.
Am I missing a better tuning of the parameters?

Then when I try to play the avi through a Media Player(Quicktime) or burn it to DVD a black/blank screen appears. No images or volume. This also happened when I used the Azureus client.
Any help is tremendously appreciated!!

Thanks.
--d.mc.
my best option thus far has been to crank up the max u/l rate, which is v. unhappy-making on my connection.
help would be greatly appreciated =D
