I had this happen several times on the same PB. I switched to the Official BitTorrent Client a few weeks ago and haven't looked back. The network lockups were the last straw for me with Azureus. It hogs resources and seems to slow everything down. Closing the program took for ever and I would get numerous errors on relaunch.

yeah it always takes forever to close the program and i always get the errors too...do you like the BitTorrent client? also, what other torrent downloaders would other recommend, because i personally love azureus but i cant even use it anymore if its gonna cut out my internet

Edit: has anyone used/use Bits on Wheels? how is this program?

I have pretty good luck with Tomato Torrent. Azureus seems to download faster sometimes, but not with all torrents. Not on 10.4._
so I haven't noticed any problems airport wise.....

Still running 10.3.9 on my 12inch PB. Too many scary stories about 10.4 for me!!!

i ran Tomato Torrent before azureus and i didnt really care for it, it wasnt a bad program but maybe ill give it another shot if i cant find anything else i like

I like like The BitTorrent client. I used Tomato torrent for a while but I didn't like all the windows. The BitTorrent client lists all the current downloads in one window.

I only used Tomato Torrent for a little while because the official client wasn't compatible with 10.4.0. Now I'm on the official client and it's the best. Azureus is by far the worst BT client for Mac.

i downloaded bit on wheels and so far i like it a lot i think its the one im gonna stick with for now
