Azureus and Transmission are the two clear leaders for Mac torrent clients. Both offer excellent torrent information and control. But each program has one major drawback, as far as I'm concerned: Transmission wastes much time and bandwidth downloading Failed Data. (Failed DL is data that failed the checksum test and needs to be downloaded again). Azureus has the drawback of including the obnoxious Fuze ad-ware on it's back. Thankfully, the Fuze software can be totally disabled in the Start preferences. To me, that makes Azureus the choice. |

TIGER USERS This link is for the Leopard version only, NOT the Tiger version. Yes, they are different. Here's the link to get Safari for Tiger: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ |

bollywood Thanks for the good info. I'll definitely give the nightly version a try. |

I really like Transmission and I WISH I could use it. It's stable, has good features, and a great price. However it has one big drawback: it wastes lots of time downloading HUGE amounts of Failed DL data, (Failed DL is data that failed it's checksum test and needs to be downloaded again). Sometimes the amount of Failed Data is larger than the amount of successful data, which means at least TWICE the download time. I've tried every Mac Torrent client available and Transmission is the only client I've found to have this problem. I've talked to several users about this, and it looks like it might be a problem with the way Transmission handles DIAL-UP internet access. It seems to work better with broadband. But this problem occurs consistently with any file, any server, any peers, etc. So if you use Transmission, check out how much failed data you're downloading: Click on the "i" in the upper right corner to open the Torrent Inspector - Then click the second tab (Activity) - Look at the "Failed DL" info and see if you're wasting download time. The amount should be almost nothing. I hope they address this issue soon so I can use this otherwise excellent app. |

I can't say enough good about this icon utility. Developers are STILL releasing apps that attempt to do what FinderIconCM did perfectly four years go, with less than 1 MB, and for FREE! • Want to badge your folders with their application icons? • Want to copy and paste icons without having to open "Get Info" windows? • Want to access your icon stock and apply your choice of icons instantly? Do all these things as fast as you can right-click, using this brilliant Contextual Menu. Unfortunately for us Mac users, it seems this developer has been busy with other things, so no Leopard support at this point. |

I bought this little movie tool, and each time I use it I'm glad I did. I've got more expensive movie apps that can join movies, but I always use this one because it's so simple and efficient. The Chapterize feature alone is worth the price. |

What a kick-a** little utility! Provides everything you ever wanted to know about your Mac's graphic capabilities... and much more. It runs great on my Tiger 10.4.11. A bargain at twice the price. |

Error message given when starting either UB or PPC versions of PeekIt: "incompatible cpu-subtype" |
|
Neither the UB 2.6.1 or the PPC 2.5.4 versions would even open on my Tiger 10.4.11. It it me? |

I love this little puzzle game. I've got literally hundreds of puzzle games and I find myself playing this one quite often. It has always run flawlessly for me. It's very simple to play, yet it can be quite challenging in an enjoyable way, (if you don't mind a little thinking). It's an original concept in the puzzle genre, which is suffering from "match-three" overdose. If you enjoy mind-bending puzzles, check this one out. IT'S FREE! To the developer Holmes Futrell: Thanks for supporting the Mac community with this excellent free game. I hope you have some time in the future to make another set of puzzles for this great game. |

I love this little note-drawer app. I've tried dozens of note apps and this is the one I come back to. Plus... it's FREE. It's as simple as Stickies, but the notes stay out of the way in a sliding drawer at the side of your screen. One feature I would like to see is the ability to turn off automatic note saving. I prefer to choose what gets saved and when. Other than that minor issue, this has everything I want in a simple note app... and once again, it's free. |

SafariBlock conflicts with iGetter! I've been trying to get SafariBlock to work for several versions now with no luck. When SafariBlock is installed in my InputManagers folder, right-clicking ALWAYS makes my Safari crash! I finally removed the iGetter folder from the InputManagers folder, and now SafariBlock actually works. I really hope this conflict gets fixed, because I LOVE my iGetter! |
|
I have the identical experience when I install SafariBlock. When I right-click in Safari, it crashes. When I remove SafariBlock, All's well again. I'm using: Safariblock 1.3 Safari 2.0.4 OSX 10.4.10 Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. |
