MacBook Pro

[USDevil]

Just picked up my first Mac today. Can anyone recommend some cool apps or anything I need to look out for? Especially a Torrent program as uTorrent doesn't have Mac support yet.

Didn't know if this should be in the General or Entertainment.

A two button mouse

Photoshop - mock up some caftards
VLC Player - watch videos
ffmpegx - for converting files
RAR Expander / Stuffit / The Unarchiver - rar files etc
Speed Download - for multiple file downloading

I use transmission for torrents, it's alright

 

[USDevil]

Just downloaded Transmission, and I'm getting faster speeds than anything I've ever got with uTorrent.

 

[a_devil_inside]

for torrents I just use BitTorrent. Used to use Tomato Torrent but the first one is better

 

[Wibble]

uTorrent will have a Mac version out very soon

 

[horselesspaul]

Xtorrent.

Yeah, I read that. I'll probably download it because I like the interface.

Does anyone know of a good (free) program that will rip my iPod to iTunes? I lost a lot of it due to an external HD taking a shit.

I think there is a program called idump that will rip off your ipod

Just google mac apps and you'll be able to find a lot. Quicksilver is pretty cool.

Actually using Senuti right now, pretty happy with it. Got HandBrake and Mac The Ripper, haven't played with either, but I'll try when I get up later today. Just downloaded VLC too.

Thanks for the inputs everyone! Keep 'em coming.
