I personally have not. However there are a few people that I know who have and they are very satisfied with it. Isn't it suppose to be like a uTorrent except for Mac? Or am I thinking of something else?:eek:
I'm using Transmission (the latest actually works well) while waiting for uTorrent to make its way over.
When I first got my mac last year, I started using transmission (because my neighbour at residence took a mac class at our school (it was part of his program), and his teacher recommended it.

I tried out xTorrent recently and honestly like Transmission better. I just love the simplicity of the UI. and the fact that I didn't need a license to go above 10kbps . :ptptptptp
I've used Tomato since I switched over from Windows and it seems to work fine. Its simple, stable and free

yup using it right now actually. After an hour it caps you at 10kps, but just quit the program and reopen it and your back at full speed
I love xTorrent and would never use anything else after switching. I've tried them all and xTorrent is worth every penny I paid for it! The search function is a lifesaver.
Xtorrent uses the Transmission core (libtransmission), so its core functions are limited to what Transmission can do (and what the license permits). The nightly builds of Transmission incorporate a file selection feature, as well as torrent creation. These two features cannot be added to Xtorrent (as long as the developer uses the Transmission core).

Keep that in mind, and feel free to grab a nightly build - they're pretty stable, and have boatloads of new features. If you're having issues, feel free to post in the Transmission :: Index.
I used to use Transmission until I found Azureus. All I can say is I'm not going back....
