BitRocket



Still having trouble finding a Mac bittorrent client that is to your liking, even after looking at this list? Perhaps BitRocket will be the app you have been looking for. It is a .1 beta release, but it does look promising (and very Mac like to boot).

BitRocket is free.

This is from the guy who "made" Xfactor and publicly humiliated a user of his software on the now defunct forums because he was being a jerk. That instantly made me stop using his horrible program and tell other people about him.

Jolix,

Just wanted to get off the sidelines and lend my support. Opening up your code for inspection let alone brining it to OSSish is a grand gesture (and one that I am glad you made regardless). I just wanted to make sure you do know that you have supporters and to not be too discouraged by the attacks... they will go away.

Utter rubbish. This is the kind of licensing that is truly free.

Just checked out Rev. 11. It does not build. You didn't include the Growl headers...

You know something, Jolix... No one would have accused you of anything had you stated what code you were using to begin with.

BitRocket does not use one single line of transmission code. BitRocket is open source as of tonight, being hosted by google. Anyway, check out the code when it is up and all of the accusers can, well you know. ;)

BitRocket and Transmission are both banned on user-only bittorrent websites anyway. Nobody's bothered to try and correct the announce interval issue.

He may be using libtorrent, but I'll bet anyone he's using at least some Transmission code as well.
