GREEDYFRANKY  I agree with HENRIRODAT. This is a very unstable program to use (OS X 10.6.2)

It hangs and crashes on random occasions.

Some years ago I used uTorrent for Windows and never got any issues with it.

Still some work to do I guess.

ICONZ113  you guys are buggin, this app is awesome, the only thing keepin me at transmission is the fact that it can create torrents. But once utorrent implements that prolly in version 1, Im def switchin. Side by side comparisons on same torrent have uttorrent faster every time. Try it.

ANTY  Great app!  
(Version 0.9.3)

HENRIRODAT  Unstable application, crashes often and randomly without log or traces. Sad...

I know its Alpha, but where is the point, when the app is unusable?

I am "trying" to work with the Mac Version since the first appearance because I was a long term (and satisfied) user of the Windoes Version, but to my opinion it just does not get any better with the Mac version.

As long as the application is so unreliable, it just does not make sense. The developers should really consider to do their homework. There is no point in flaming the users all the time in their forums, whenever they dare to say something about the app that they dont like, but at the same time having problems with the app en masse.

Of course I am aware, that its freeware and the devs are not paid and they do voluntary work. But so do thousands of others, who really have STABLE and WORKING applications.

And if the devs can not manage to deliver a stable and working application to the community, then really bury that thing and forget about it.

Just my 2 cents

DADUDA  Updated to 0.9.3 and now have a problem - it is crushing all the times. I would love to downgrade to the previous version with which I had no problem at all! Just switched from Transmission and the only thing I miss - I can't choose the itmes within torrent as I did in Transmission. I am happy with all the rest - especially with the effective speeds of download/upload.

FERROZ  I find this app incredible usable. I get download speed which by far exceeds the ones I get from Transmission. No problem with it what so ever, runs like clockwork! Been using Transmission for years, but has changed permanently to uTorrent now, it's that good! The only thing I miss is the ability to choose download directory, it's suboptimal getting all you download into one single directory! :) Thanks for a great app!

KKNOPP  I've tried and tried and tried this application soo many times after each upgrade HOPING that it would stay running and not crash on me "unexpectedly" and messing up my torrents. I wont go into the sluggish GUI that beachballs whenever I change the size, or a setting.

No thanks. It's not even usable. Sad, the Windows version is very nice.

Note to the author, you'll find Mac users more picky than Windows users. So why you thought you could put a half-assed version of your application out and we'd gobble it up is beyond me.

EMET1  First off, not using 0.9.3 because it's an alpha. This is a review of 0.9.2.

Using uT in conjunction with TVShows to automate downloads. Had been using Azureus for a long time, but Az hangs up when TVShows drops a torrent. Since Az went to Vuze, it's gotten pretty bloated.

uTorrent:

UI: Very, very basic. If you are used to using Azureus in advanced mode, you'll go a little nuts looking for settings in uT.

Speed is excellent, really.

Easy to use. Had to make a few tweaks in the prefs and it was ready to go.

Worked with TV Shows effortlessly.

Stable.

It's free.

Haven't used the built in search, TVShows does the work for me.

But:

Won't stop seeding at set share ratio. Unacceptable. This is a basic feature that should work out of the box. You should be able to set it and forget it.

My overnight test: I set it to share 3:1, came back in the morning at it was still seeding a 6:1 This is a bug, according to the forums. A bug?

Can't find my overall share ratio, only the ratio for active files. Once I removed the file, there is nowhere in the app to find my stats. A web search tells me this is available on the Windows version. Why not the mac version? Again this is a basic feature that should be there out of the box.

Can't tell if the ipfilter is working. This is basic stuff. Az has a safepeer plugin that I can tell is working. The message log in uT said: Loaded ipfilter.dat (0 entries). This does not instill confidence.

Support: Website FAQ is for the Windows version only. Really, really frustrating, since the two apps are miles apart in development there should be two FAQs.

Conclusion: While I can see the appeal of this little client for basic users, it needs a lot of work to make it a viable alternative for more advanced users. Until they fix that share ratio bug, it's just not ready.

NEMODS  Have to agree and say that the old window UI was better looking, my biggest problem with this version is the crashes and the sidebar where i pick my torrent types doesn't work, is always shows all torrent currently in the program  
(Version 0.9.3)

DOC RENAUD  I do not like the new "windows" look either, but if it was only that... The real problem is this version is constantly crashing. Not sure what the problem is, but reverting to previous version brings everything back to normal.
