Great plugin. A mystery why more people aren't using this!

superb!

this application is superfluous. The same result is achieved by using the »Export All« functionality that is already built into Events (on facebook). Copy that url and paste into iCal. Subscription completed.

works splendid

It works fantastic. It is super fast and responsive. Because it integrates with Mail, it can actually sync to dos across multiple computers if you are using an IMAP account.

2.0 is "snappy" and responsive, and I love the iCal and Mail integration. Mail is always open but hidden, and I don't often use iCal, so it's great to have my To Do's at my fingertips.

The only noticeable bug I've encountered is that rarely it will refuse to select anything at all, even after jumping to and from the "i" preference pane; not exactly worrying, and easily fixed with a Cmd+R, but a bug nonetheless. Great widget.

Whats wrong with iCal? To me this is a an extremely useless widget, this is what a widget shouldn't be.

Meh. Neh. Not a bad idea, but seriously lacking.

Love it! Now I don't need to have iCal open just to get a glance of my todos.

This widget takes up way too much space if you don't have a lot of tasks listed off hand. Why can't I resize it?

Must agree with some other speakers, its just plain wrong to charge for a piracy application.

I just want to point out that Bittorrent technology and clients are not "piracy applications" even if some or many people choose to illegally download and share files with it. CD-Rs and CD writers aren't piracy tools per se, neither is my car a weapon even though I can certainly use it to harm others.

Having compared this to other bittorrent solutions for the Mac, including acquisition, and Bittorrent itself, I have found that it saves me considerable time and effort.

Entering a search in one box, and getting a unified table of results is a lot simpler than searching multiple different web interfaces and then trying to compare the hits.

The downloading capability seems to be as good as the other tools I've tried, but I can't say I've been comparing them side by side with the same torrents.

It's a very nicely designed app. Is it worth paying money for? Generally saving time and hassle is worth something. It all depends how much you're going to use it.

BitTorrent is NOT essentially piracy. I personally don't pirate, but I love BitTorrent because is simply a neat technology, which I use for the occasional video podcast or Linux distro. Unlike with traditional one-server-with-many-clients, everybody that takes also gives in terms of bandwidth. BitTorrent saves content providers a considerable amount of money, and just gets faster and faster the more people there are. It's perfect for large and popular files, especially when the providers of said files don't have much money to pay for bandwidth.

As for Xtorrent itself, I personally wouldn't use it enough to justify paying for it so I'll stick with Transmission because it does what I need and its tracker problems have not affected me with my limited usage.

It's simple, quick, and I love the torrent searching feature. Wish I could find out how it worked, so I could try to get my favorite torrents to come up on it...

Very nice, worth hanging on to, but keep something like Transmission handy as well.

If libtransmission doesn't float your boat, try using BitRocket (similar interface, not quite as slick, but based on libtorrent and released under the GPL).

I like xtorrent, but the libtransmission thing really kills it for me... sure, it's quick, but it's banned in just too many places for it to be useful.

(Update: I notice that the latest beta has a "fix for incorrectly reported statistics" -- might be worth checking out again soon...)

From my experience with David Watanabe’s other apps,
all these issues will be mostly addressed by its first 1.0 release,
then steadily resolved over the first few months after that.

The app's description could use a rewrite: replace sujective statement "Looks fantastic for a beta!" by something more impartial and neutral, and share more meaningful information, such as the fact it uses libtransmission, originally from the Transmission Bittorrent client.

Consistently screws up all downloads and i have to start all over from the beginning. Can't seem to "remember" the external hard drive i'm downloading to. Lame but pretty.

Still no encryption... There is no way I'm paying for a bittorrent client w/o encryption.
