Default Which torrent search engine do you recommend?
I usuallly use torrent-finder.com but it seems to be having a few problems of late. Where do you go searching for torrents? TIA.

Above, and the one that is a small car used in the Italian job, plus a small chavvy car made by Vauxhall in the mid 80's and 90's

But you glazed over a critical post! uTorrent isn't available for the Mac platform

Native is on the way, still in beta atm but certainly not far off a full release judging from reviews.

The beta is available i should imagine.

I used to run uTorrent on my PC but seeing as how I'm getting up to 600kb/s with Azureus on some of the more popular downloads I don't really think about using something else like say, Transmission. When uTorrent becomes a native OSX client I'll give it a shot though.

Newsgroups is the way to go 9000kbs+ for me all the way through the download.
