For the record Limewire also automatically adds the songs to youriTunes after downloading with Macs. Not saying it's better or worse than Acquisition, but since you asked about Limewire I figure I'd throw thatin..

LimeWire on the Mac works pretty good. I have noticed it will pretty much hog the bandwidth of your internet connectionwhile you are downloading though.

Agreed, I use Vuze and it works great for me (when I'm not at school) - it is pretty dumbed down and very simple to use. I prefer torrents, and this hasseemed to be the best program so far.

 

[cwrite78]

transmissions is the best IMO. small simple app

 

[kneenoh]

For me Azureus aka Vuze is much faster then Transmission. Everything on Transmission took twice as long as it would with Vuze.

 

[cwrite78]

word? ive never had a problem with speeds. my broadband is decent and i always get files with a good amount of seeders. but i'll check out vuze one day

 

[kneenoh]

The only thing I dont like about Vuze is it's Vuze HD Network. It really isn't needed at all.

 

[cwrite78]

no problem

 

[elderwatsondiggs]

My bad I took so long Cwrite. Was playing Resident Evil5. But thanks much!!!

So I'm new to the whole DVD ripping thing. I'm not looking to make copies, what I actually want to do is take clips from my DVD's and end up usingthem in YT videos, nothing major.

I tried downloading both Handbrake and MactheRipper.

Handbrake I got to work, but it was TOTALLY scrambled. How do I solve the scrambling?

The complete sync tool.

ChronoSync is the complete data management utility that allows you to efficiently synchronize or backup files and folders from one disk location to another. There are hundreds of settings available within each Synchronizer document to customize your synchronizations. You can synchronize or backup files to almost any device. ChronoSync will even automatically mount other computers. Create as many documents as you need to handle all the synchronization and backup scenarios you have.
Synchronize
Whether you work on more than one computer or need to share files with someone on another computer, ChronoSync can handle it. Work on your laptop and sync. All of your files are copied over to your desktop. When you switch back, just sync and your changed files are copied back over to your laptop. Learn more...
Back Up
If you modify files on your source only and need a redundant copy on your destination, then you would need a back up copy of your files. Whatever you want to back up your Mac to, ChronoSync can handle it. Learn more...
Bootable
Besides backing up all your files, a bootable backup allows you to boot directly into the backup so you can run your Mac from the backup. Learn more...
Archive
Save old versions of your files in case you need to go back in time. Instead of just deleting files, ChronoSync saves deleted and modified files by storing them in an archive folder. Learn more...
Schedule
The most powerful aspect of ChronoSync is scheduling. Create multiple synchronizer documents and schedule them separately or combine them in a ChronoSync Container to schedule them together. Learn more...
Analyze
Compare your data before and after every synchronization, utilizing the Analyze panel, running trial synchronizations, and viewing detailed printed logs. Learn more...
Connect
Synchronize or backup to almost any device. ChronoSync can even automatically mount other computers. Learn more...
Filter Data
Filtering gives you the flexibility to only copy files or folders you want from any set of data. Learn more...

TubeSock: Rip. Mix. Copy to iPod. TubeSock grabs YouTube videos from the web and copies them to your video iPod, Mac, or PlayStation Portable. TubeSock knows how to convert the video using the codecs and bitrates best for each device. It can even add the video to iTunes for you.

What's new in this version:
TubeSock 3.0 has advanced to beta 19 (download TubeSock 3.0 beta 19 here!) and it fixes the crash on PowerPC / Tiger Macs in beta 18. Yes, we finally got our dead PowerBook G4 up and running, and after a seriously large amount of tediousness, we found the bug. It was in the new code that displays the FPS counter. Apparently the conversion can be slow enough on PowerPC that it exposed a condition where the buffer containing the FPS could be empty. The code has been re-written in a much more defensive manner, so a null this or a nil that won't crash anything.

A few other fixes made their way in: fixes to a site that made a recent change, a rare condition where the output name could match the input name and overwrite the input file, and some more general interface tweaking.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. iTunes integration requires iTunes 6.0 or later.

Great program. Most new songs that I hear, I just go onto youtube, find the video, and then I can download it as an .aac file, and it transferright into iTunes. I don't know what the quality is, but its fine for me. For some reason, however, if you save it as a .mp3, it won't transfer to youriPod.

the dockswitcher icon is in your apps folder, drag the downloaded .zip file (w/out opening it) into the dockswitcher icon in your apps folder.
