The qBittorrent project was started in March 2006 to create a lightweight but featureful BitTorrent client that would be multi-platform and very easy to use.

qBittorrent v2 is the closest open source (GNU GPL v2 license) equivalent to µtorrent. qBittorrent is based on Qt4 toolkit and libtorrent-rasterbar.

In excemple what lightweight is: uTorrent (v1.5.4) ~2.4MB
Transmission (v2.3.3) ~3.8MB - that's real lightweiths.

You can find the Mac OSX version 2.6.6 here:

Took a bit of time to find it on the developer's site, but it's a stable version. They should at least update their listing here at macupdate!

For open source zealots only. And even then, Transmission is probably the better client.

`Lightweight' is nearly 13MB larger download than Transmission. I assume that it bundles QT and that probably adds a lot substance. I guess lightweight refers to the memory footprint whilst running. QT is pretty ugly too, so perhaps a nicer way of making it cross platform and just as ugly would have been a Java UI to lower the size of the download.
