uTorrent bring digital goodness to OS X 10.5

Back in 2006 when BitTorrent Inc. purchased uTorrent, it promised us Mac users a version to call our own. Fortunately, that day is here. On Nov.28th uTorrent for OS X 10.5 was released in beta.

Most of uTorrent’s well-known Windows features tagged along on the journey to the Mac, though some, such as RSS downloading, torrent creation, and the webui, aren’t here yet (boo). Fortunately, uTorrent’s developers are planning to bring and keep uTorrent for Mac in feature parity with the Windows version.

Still, after a quick spin with the beta to download Ubuntu 8.10, it seems to be pretty solid, complete with a refreshingly Mac-like UI. RAM usage never stepped beyond 20MB, and Ubuntu made it down in less than 17 minutes.
