BitTorrent

Azureus is good for Macs too, but since LW is my main p2p program, I just use bittorrent on occasion because it's small, quick, and doesn't really interfere when LW is running.

Sort of like using textedit for a quick note, rather than firing up Word

Default Shareaza

I use LimeWire for Gnutella (efficient, familiar, Win+Mac) and Shareaza the swiss-army-knife of P2P for BitTorrents... I like Shareaza, (easy to use, fully featured, flexible) but I will try Azureus, someday!

btw--there is a torrent-enabled LW available. Gregorio built one, and although it hasn't been updated recently, it should still work.

I haven't tried all that many from the list. Azureus gets my vote too.
It is more advanced than the simplistic (yet effective) official BitTorrent client and the new versions feature some nifty little additions that I like (for example the Swarm tab is cool).
It also has a fairly intuitive interface.
One of the problems though is that because it isn't as simple as the official client, it doesn't do very good if I try to run at the same time as LW.

LimeWire beta out now has bit torrent support. BTW polls can have more than 10 choices but only 10 can be added initially, so you'd need to edit the poll.

(BTW stief have you ever tried Tex-Edit Plus. I started using it in OS 9 as it could do all the same things as simpletext & more. It's a cross between simpletext & a fuller word processor. It opens as quickly as TextEdit & window doc looks the same, but has more menus & xtras. Though my version 4.4 is now 4 years old. Oh & I also use Excalibur which works in background for spellchecks.)
