Cyberduck is a good free FTP client. For good codec support in Quicktime/FR, google Perian - you'll want the beta, probably.

I use Azureus on my Mac and it's always behaved just as well as it has on my PC, which is to say not as well as utorrent but still I'm willing to trade 100MB of RAM for its features. (I use Azureus on my PC, still, too, so!)

Kapp, in the things you listed as being awesome you did not list Quicksilver, and this terrifies me. Does anyone know if there's a Windows equivalent for my desktop?

I have to use Firefox OS X because Camino and Safari don't understand Firefox plugins. Also, Safari doesn't do F5 reload, and various other tiny annoyances I don't know how to fix. Definitely love its font rendering, though :(

Azureus is garbage, never support crap that doesn't feel like a proper Mac app.


It is what it is, and what it is is a Java app that runs on everything from your dog to your Athlon XP. Ain't nobody trying to pretend it's in line with your OS UI, but it looks exactly the same on everything you use it on so there are no surprises. I can understand choosing not to use it if style is your prerogative, but calling it garbage isn't necessary in the least. It's one of the most full-featured torrent apps on any platform, and it works on all of them.

PS - I sure hope Leopard has a RESIZE FROM ANY SIDE OR CORNER feature in its window manager :(

Also, kapp, I upload to Flickr from OS X (do all my photo developing in Lightroom on my MBP these days) using this widget: http://ropiat.free.fr/flickit/

The Quicksilver Flickr/Transmit plugins are the best uploading solution, friends.

I haven't pirated Transmit yet.

The logic behind it, at least from what I gather, is this: if it is free on Windows or Linux, charge money for it on OS X.

Uploading to Flickr on Windows can be pretty nice, too. I have it in my right-click context menu!

I'm pretty happy with Crimson Editor and SmartFTP on Windows, actually.

9A466 is on alt.binaries.mac and alt.binaries.mac.applications, but I don't have any DL DVDs or Firewire drives so I haven't tried it.

CSSedit is well worth it. What's wrong about supporting small developers?

Absolutely nothing is wrong with it. Those prices are pretty outrageous, however!
