Beware of this company! The original Grass package can be found at http://grass.itc.it. These people are selling a bundle of freely available Open Source software illegaly on their website for a tremendous amount of money, so keep your hands off this download!
This is an extremely usefull little app, since it's the only one of its kind which lets you browse the folders on your system without having to change the visible/invisible status. You can then edit any desired item directly from within the finder again, which makes it a very handy utility for anyone working with server config files etc. without having to make all the hidden OS X stuff visible.
Could have a slighty more native OSX interface though IMO, looks a little too JAVA for me... But that doesn't have any impact one the usability, maybe just an idea for further improvements, if there are planned any?
By far the best client out there - it is fast, it has a LOT of features you won't find anywhere else and best of all: it's free! Since it reports all the stats properly to the tracker (at least in my case), Bits of wheels is my first choice when it comes to sharing torrents.
But beware: downloading and uploading can become very addicting, since BoW has by far the most exciting statusbar options I've ever seen (the 3D wheel ist just one of them).
It's just a little feature that I miss within BoW: The possibility to prevent clients with bad hash checks from further uploading - This can lead to quite huge amounts of waste of bandwith and time in worst case...
Therefore BoW gets an overall 5 star rating from me ecxept for stability.
...and a big THANX for developing this program for free - keep up the good work!

The only reason I don't give this a one star rating is that I still hope for an update, because I really like(d) Sapiens.
