Softpedia can confirm that Mac OS X 10.7 Lion handles BitTorrent beautifully, if not better than its competitors - Transmission and Vuze. The software shares the same high speed and low resource benefits of the Windows PC version and, in some instances, the Mac client is even faster. It’s also universal, meaning it works in both PowerPC and Intel environments. The BitTorrent Mac client has reached version 7.0.2 Build 23548 which, according to our tests, is now fully compatible with OS X Lion.īitTorrent version 7 is a native cocoa client for Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard) and up. BitTorrent, the well known file sharing cross-platform protocol, has gotten a new update on the Mac.
