Technical question for Mac users...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I know, hark at me, hardly ever on the forum these days then has the cheek to appear only to ask a question... :oops:

Still, I would be very grateful if any apple users could recommend a mac based medium for downloading torrents. It's all pc at my place but a mac user on another forum asked if I could help... There I go again, on other forums more than I'm here, what am I like? :wink:

Technical question for Mac users
Some sort of contradiction there, surely?
