    First off, download FF3 Not only does it look sexy on OSX now, it's much better at memory management.

    Secondly, it gets a lot worse once you're seeding/leeching a bunch of torrents at once (like seeding 30+).
    Do not pm me for invites. At the moment I will not be participating here in that regard. I will ignore your pm.

    hehe ill pick up ff3 after boozing for cinco de mayo (thanks for the tip) ...

    Why does everyone have a hard on for µTorrent? I mean the whole appeal I thought was because it was so lightweight, but going through the hassle (and overhead) of installing 'crossover' or a fucking VM just boggles my mind. Is there some /dicksuck feature I overlooked ?

    no overhead whatsoever on my machine.
