3) Download a Client
Download a torrent client
The first step to get started is installing a torrent client application. Transmission is easy to use and setup, so I’ll be using it throughout this tutorial. Transmission is a nice small application with just the right amount of options to make newbies and advanced users feel at home.
Another decent application (but larger and more of a memory hog) is Azureus. For advanced users, it has many more options than Transmission, but more than necessary for most users. You can find more torrent clients on versiontracker.com.
For more advanced users, consider using uTorrent for XP running on Fusion (this is what I’m currently using).
Download transmission and install it. Read this article if you don’t know how to install applications in Mac OS X (in short: drag the downloaded file “Transmission.app” to your applications folder).
