bit torrent software
Dunno if this is an acceptable question, seeing as how the general nature of bit torrents is less than legal, but what are some of the better bit torrent clients for OS X?
I really can't stand Azureus - it is too bloated and gives me a hundred million errors. I know I'm behind a firewall and it likes to tell me every 30 seconds. Right now I'm using Tomato Torrent because the pictue looked cool.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I know you said you dont like it, but its the best..
I'm behind a friewall as well but hardly ever (once a week?) get an error.
Look in the prefs.
The amount of plugins for Azureus available are amazing.
acr4, you can turn off those pop-ups in the preferences. You can also turn off the Universal Plug-N-Play (UPnP) support too which might help get rid of errors.
If the firewall you are behind is just a router, and the router has UPnP enabled, just change the port you are using in the preferences. It could be that someone on the same router is using bittorrent on the same port and the UPnP is telling Azureus that someone else already has that port.

Most stable, best interface, most mac-like. IMHO of course...
acr4
I like tomato torrent as it is fast, small memory footprint, and very simple. I recommend thee 1.2 version, as the 1.5 is beta and I've had one issue with it (endless loop in python).
