Since my last post about Mac software, I stumbled upon a couple more software that either may add to the list, or completely change some of the items on that post. Since it’s a poin in the arse to keep on editing that same post, I guess I’ll just post along with the new developments.
One is on BitTorrent applications (on which the previous post was already modified). I’ve managed to find two torrent applications that work similar to ABC Torrent for windows: Azureus and Bits on Wheels. I’m using the latter since Azureus on the PC wasn’t quite a popular choice for those who loathe resource hungry apps. So I’m now replacing Tomato Torrent with Bits on Wheels.
Next would be my new replacement for LimeWire: Poisoned – a multi-network P2P app. I’m kinda big on the whole multi-stuff since developers can’t get their standards/protocols straight (this will never go away) so the next best thing is to have a single app that can communicate with everyone rather than dealing with the extra overhead of launching separate apps to do one of each function.
The Poisoned Project’s “Poisoned” is a beautiful, flexible and powerful file sharing application for Mac OS X. Unlike applications like LimeWire or Kazaa that connect to only one file sharing network, Poisoned can connect to several seamlessly. Unlike Kazaa and several other file sharing applications, Poisoned contains no spyware and no adware. In addition, Poisoned, is free and open-source software.
Last would be a decent non-obtrusive way to control iTunes. which the bulk of this post will be discussing.
