downloading torrents in OS X

[woopud]

Bittorrent, Azureus, xTorrent. Bitrocket and Bits on Wheels, they all download and install fine but as soon as I want to open the application it bounces a few times on the dock and then nothing.

Tomato torrent is the only program that will open but won't let me download anything.

Bits on Wheels requires 10.3.9 and Xtorrent requires 10.4. I'm not sure about the others, but I guess they're going to have similar requirements.

isn't that sort of illegal, warez should not be discussed here. talking about torrent clients for jag is cool, but not if its to download software illegally.

if that isn't what you meant by your post sorry for the confusion

Well torrent clients don't have that many other uses... Yeh, I know there are a few legal files available as torrents, but 99.9% aren't. You could always try using a Windows box to download the torrent, it won't cause any problems to download it on a non-Mac.

emulators are legal the roms you need to run them arent thats th ekind of feleing i get from this thread

How much RAM do you have on your system? If you only have the bare minimum, I wouldn't doubt that some programs would just bounce and not open.

Additionally, have you actually copied the programs to your applications folder, or did you just drag them to the dock, then delete the disc image? Bad question, I know.... but I did that once with 10.1 I think. *eek*

G3/400, 640 Ram. Somehow i got Tomato torrent working, I installed firefox and if I click on a torrent it actualy let me choose tomato to open it. Still not sure why the other torrent clients won't work.
