BitTorrent has become the peer-to-peer protocol of choice for transferring large files quickly. There are plenty of clients for OS X, but Transmission Project's Transmission 1.22 has a lot of things going for it: it's fast, it's extremely lightweight, and-even though it's available for a variety of platforms-it behaves just as you'd expect a Mac program to.

Don't be fooled by its simple, intuitive interface: it has plenty of power. You can set up Transmission to watch a particular folder for torrent files and begin downloads automatically, set upload and download speed restrictions globally or for individual files, and even configure the program to prefer encrypted peers.
