well, of course you are running this app on a Mac, it is a Mac software.
So, what do you mean by this: "I operate a mac system and wonder if this is the problem"???
This is just the best thing since sliced bread or Napster. I cant really fault it, though resumeable downloads and chat would be an advatage. Myster network seems a little small at the moment but is growing. More stable than Limewire, cues downloads, very reliable..... Try It.

By answering that cry, Myster takes the best of features in other file sharing utilities, raising the bar to a new level in distributed file sharing over the Internet.
Some key features of Myster include:
A completely distributed framework of peers, eliminating any need for a central server
The ability to search the network without "flooding" it with requests for information.
Support for multiple types of data, not just MP3s
A realtime, self-organizing and self-optimizing network
