Hey guys...Just got a MacBook and I'm trying to figure out how to use bitTorrent on it...How can I get the torrent to download through the program (bitTorrent) right off of the site? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Transmission is the best Bittorrent program for Mac in my opinion. I've used a bunch before but I still use Transmission.

Azureus uses up a lot of your computer's memory though. It makes it tough to run other programs while you have it open. Transmission is much smoother.
