Utterly random, I don't know why it does it because it does not appear to have crashed.

And indeed it's a wonderful time saver for us that have a remote torrent downloader running somewhere.
(notifications are not always coming up, however - approx 1 of each 3 notifications is being lost)

I already had Transmission on my Mac, configured as default app for magnet links. But I also have a remote Mac with Transmission running at home, with web UI enabled.
Ideal behaviour: Upon launch of BarMagnet, it should become the default app for magnet links and for opening torrent files. Upon quit, it should restore the defaults to what they were before.
That way when I want local, I just quit BarMagnet; and when I want remote, I just open it.

In the future, please email me when you have a feature suggestion, Bar Magnet is still in beta and nothing is finalised, so there's a very good chance I might add it. Leaving mediocre ratings really helps nobody.

A 4.5 score and not 5 because there ought to be 1 more refinement: the price of 20 dollars is way to high. Should be more like $9,95

If Bar Magnet ever changes in the future, it'll become shareware or an indefinite trial, like Winrar, but for now it's listed as Freeware since there are no safeguards at all.

Seriously though, it's a great app. 6 stars.
I wish it supported Vuze though: -1 star.
