New Mac P2P

[Dway]

Does XTorrent work in many private torrent trackers, like OiNK, Demonoid, Torrentbytes and Underground Gamer?

And is it a resource hog like Azureus?

There is a new client, and I know of a mac torrent site who has banned it, as its downloading capacities can encourage someone to neglect his/her uploading duty.

This client BitTyrant is for OS X, Windows and Linux.

Website address:

Overview

BitTyrant is a new, protocol compatible BitTorrent client that is optimized for fast download performance. BitTyrant is...

• Fast – During evaluation testing on more than 100 real BitTorrent swarms, BitTyrant provided an average 70% download performance increase when compared to the existing Azureus 2.5 implementation, with some downloads finishing more than three times as quickly.
• Fair – BitTorrent was designed with incentives in mind: if a user is downloading at 30 KBps, they should upload at 30 KBps. However, due to the unique workload properties of many real-world swarms, this is not always enforced. BitTyrant is designed to make efficient use of your scarce upload bandwidth, rewarding those users whose upload allocations are fair and only allocating excess capacity to other users.
• Familiar – BitTyrant is based on modifications to Azureus 2.5, currently the most popular BitTorrent client. All of our changes are under the hood. You’ll find the GUI identical to Azureus, with optional additions to display statistics relevant to BitTyrant’s operation.

Note: BitTyrant requires Java 1.5. If you're having problems getting things started, try updating your JVM.
