Top 5 BitTorrent Clients for Mac
1. uTorrent
Hands down the best Mac OS BitTorrent client
uTorrent for Mac was first released back in 2008, and a stable version 1.0 appeared last July. It sports many of the features BitTorrent users have come to expect from a BitTorrent client:
µTorrent Remote: Simple, secure access to µTorrent from anywhere. No complicated network configuration required. Add and manage your torrents from any browser, mobile browser and even an Android app.
Feeds: Subscribe and follow torrent RSS feeds. Set up Smart Feeds to auto-magically fetch torrents and start downloads for you.
Scheduler: Start, limit and stop activity at regular intervals to abide by metered and shared networks.
Much like the uTorrent for Windows version, this version of uTorrent excels at downloading files quickly with minimal memory usage.
2. Transmission
Just What You Need — None Of What You Don’t
Transmission has been built from the ground up to be a lightweight, yet powerful BitTorrent client. Its simple, intuitive interface is designed to integrate tightly with whatever computing environment you choose to use. Transmission strikes a balance between providing useful functionality without feature bloat. Furthermore, it is free for anyone to use or modify.
It Just Works
Transmission runs natively on over five operating systems. Seamless configuration of your network, intelligent banning of peers who send corrupted data, protocol encryption, and built in Peer Exchange are some of the features which enable Transmission to download your files as quickly as possible. All this is done in the background, without the user having to worry about complicated settings.
Open Source
Transmission is fully open source, with most code licensed under the liberal MIT License and with select code licensed under the GNU General Public License. If you are interested in helping out the Transmission project in any way, we encourage you to head over to our development page. The current developers welcome anybody who is interested in implementing new features, documentation or translations.
Powerful Torrent Management
These days, bandwidth is a precious commodity. Transmission allows you to ration this commodity efficiently. You might want to queue your torrents for maximum performance. Or throttle their speed during peak periods. Transmission easily lets you do both, and thus only works its hardest when you want it to. Support for Growl notifications and dock badging keep you updated with what’s going on so you can get back to doing more important things.
3. Bittorrent
BitTorrent for Mac features:
Lightweight client
Local peer discovery
Configurable bandwidth scheduler
Global and per-torrent speed limiting
RSS Downloader
Spyware-Free
It also features BitTorrent DNA, which stands for Delivery Network Accelerator. BitTorrent DNA is an enterprise-grade content delivery accelerator. It is distributed by your favorite websites and software companies to speed up your downloads by connecting to multiple sources of the same file. During and after each download, your computer helps distribute what you download. By giving and receiving in this way, your favorite websites operate more efficiently and provide a better and faster experience for everyone.
4. XTorrent
Search Everywhere, Easily
Xtorrent is all about search. Type keywords in and the results show up right in Xtorrent. One click later and you’re downloading your content. It’s ridiculously easy… and it’s only in Xtorrent.
Subscribe to Content, Easily
Xtorrent consolidates the work of many apps into one. Ditch your RSS reader and your web browser… Xtorrent lets you subscribe to RSS torrentcasts directly. Just like the search interface, you’re only one click away from downloading the latest content.
Get Exactly What You Want
You can browse the files and folders of a torrent before downloading and see its real-time swarm status. Easily narrow your search results using the straightforward media type and keyword filters.
Hardcore Technology, Mac Simplicity
Xtorrent has the svelte body of a supermodel and the brute strength of an ironman. In true Mac form, it successfully marries high-performance technology with a truly easy to use interface. Mac users deserve nothing less.
5. BitRocket
BitRocket is a Native(Open Source) BitTorrent client for Mac OS X. At the heart of it’s core resides the powerful libtorrent BitTorrent library. BitRocket is aimed to be a good alternative to other Mac OS BitTorrent clients.
RSS support (Download .torrent’s from within the application)
Integrated (Customizable) Search Engine (Download .torrent’s from within the application)
Flexible Filtering
Torrent Generator
Live Info View
UPnP and NAT-PMP Port Forwarding
This probably the least used client of the 5 mentioned above, but it still has a loyal following.

CrossOver的教程
先简要介绍下CrossOver：CrossOver是开源软件Wine的商业版，因为Wine的设置基本要靠手动完成，会比较麻烦，所以对于不难搞到D版的天朝来说，设置相对简单的CrossOver是比原版的Wine更好的选择
Wine的原理是虚拟一个Win的API，让Win程序能直接运行于MacOS上，与虚拟机不同的是，Wine只是提供了OS和应用程序之间的一个接口，本身并不是一个独立的操作系统，所以从Wine启动程序并不需要像虚拟机一样先启动虚拟机里的OS，同时内存等系统资源也是由MacOS自动管理，不像虚拟机是不管你玩游戏还是只开个浏览器，都固定地占用大量的系统资源。
兼容性上比虚拟机差，但是性能上好很多，实测可用软件包括：IE7（当然就包括各色网银、支付宝等啦），米人，RaySource，PPS（有部分乱码问题无法解决，但是节目选单可用，可播放），Warcraft III，仙剑奇侠传3（这游戏win7跑都总bug，CrossOver居然毫无压力），卡巴斯基2011，windows优化大师（这个请忽略，拿来搞笑的）。
未实测但是网友反映可用的软件包括：迅雷，PPLive，Office 2007，win版QQ
大概介绍完了，有兴趣的FY可以按以下步骤开始尝试：
最新版是9.2，大家自己去网上搜索下，建议下载最新版，因为CrossOver的每次更新基本都是兼容性更新
然后到我的SkyDrive下载一个软件叫CrossOverLang：
http://cid-0c64fbd5222bd391.office.live.com/embedicon.aspx/Public/CrossOverLang.zip
本来想把CrossOver 9.2破解版也传Skydrive的，无奈刚好56M，skydrive只支持50M以内的文件，mac下又没有分段压缩的软件（我没有），所以就算咯，应该也不难找了反正，Dropbox国内被q1ang所以我就不发Dropbox的地址了，有国外的FY有需要的回铁联系
CrossOver是英文的，不管用不用那个CrossOverLang都一样，CrossOverLang只是用于修改bottle的系统语言的，所以英语没把握的准备好词典或者Google Translate把
安装什么的就不说了，装好之后，不要直接启动CrossOver，而是通过crossOverLang启动：
双击CrossOverLang，会提示选择CrossOver的安装位置，以及所需语言（选Chinese PRC），确定启动CrossOver
Configure － Manage Bottles，新建一个瓶子叫WinXP，操作系统当然选择XP啦
到Applications里点Install Software，然后按顺序安装以下组件：
Chinese Arphic Font Package
IE7（注意选择简体中文版）
Flash 10 ActiveX Control（IE7装完后会自动启动）
Microsoft DirectX Runtime － Modern
以上几个都是可以在搜索框里键入名字直接搜索到、直接由CrossOver下载安装的
然后安装需要的软件，我主要是装了几个国内网盘的下载工具，这个每个人的需求不一样
然后CrossOver的Programs菜单有您安装的所有程序，以及还有个Run Command可以用来直接运行部分BootCamp分区里的windows程序，已知War3和PAL3这俩游戏可以，还有就是卡巴斯基和windows优化大师可以，别的我也没试，反正绿色版软件肯定都可以，常用的还可以点下面的Save Command to Programs Menu来创建快捷方式
大概就这样，说是麻烦其实不比VM麻烦多少，当时这东西是同学想看PPS让我帮她试弄了我一上午弄通怎么用了，PD我也整了一下午（当然，有我自己操作失误的原因，以及PD和我BC上windows的Ramdisk不兼容的原因）还把我BC分区搞坏一次，后来我觉得不好用反应慢还老bug还给它卸了

Mac系统和Windows系统的下载软件
关于一个BT软件的下载，由于是比较早的软件了，所以网上的种子比较少。
当我在Mac OS X中下载了种子，然后使用Mac版的迅雷和Transmission下载的时候，都不能成功。最多的时候仅仅有2个种子，没有一点速度。
当我改用Windows系统下载时，使用Windows版的迅雷软件，发现虽然仅仅有两个种子，但是速度也非常快。几十兆的一个软件，很快就下载完了。
----
估计可能是使用Windows系统的人比较多把？！分享的时候是用Windows系统的，所以可能使用Windows的迅雷比较方便。
----
以后还是集中经历搞两个系统就可以了，弄的比较精一些，Windows和Mac OS。现在看来，还不能一个完全取代另外一个。
Papers的破解
首先，对于Papers2的破解，现在网上非常多，也比较好找～～安装上之后会自动把Papers1里面的东西移民到Papers2中。
但是前提是Papers1需要的是它的最终版本，也就是1.9.7。
以前一直用它的破解的1.8.6的版本，非常好用，然后后来就没有怎么关注过。然后最近一下子就蹦到了2.0.8了。然后发现1.9.7的破解版本非常之不好找，让我情以何堪。
最后挺费劲的从国外的BT网站上下载了一个破解版的1.9.7。
在破解说明中提到：
1. Drag Papers app to Applications Folder
2. Move com.mekentosj.papers.registration.plist to:
/Library/Preferences/ (Register for all users)
~/Library/Preferences (Only for you)
这里一定注意，第二个是系统文件夹，默认情况是隐藏的，需要这个文件拷贝到上面全部两个地方才能完成破解。
