My cousing uses an Apple Ibook and she wants to start using torrents. I use BitComet and I couldn't find a Mac version of that so what is the best client to use with mac? I dont want something that requires you to forward ports.

games Im looking forward to: bioshock, SSBB, enemy territory quake wars, halo 3
currently playing: command and conquer 3, supreme commander, counter strike, shivering isles

Every torrent client will require you to forward ports if you have a router or firewall.

Bitcomet didn't require me to forward any ports.

its not like the program tells u to forward ports. if theres a firewall, or router, u need to forward if u want to get good download speeds. otherwise the firewall will 'limit' data coming in. u can choose to not forward ports, but thats not a good idea

yes, I know what port forwarding is. Lets just forget about it. My question is: what is the best client that works with Mac?

this falls under the category of both P2P and Mac and I thought it was more about P2P so I just posted it here.

I have a macbok pro, the azurues isnt working with intel yet ( i think, didnt work on mine), but the simplist and best is just called "bit torrent osx" , if u got to pure-mac.com theres a huge list of p2p and bittorent software for mac under the p2p section. also "bits on wheels" is a very good torrent program!
hope that helped u!
