Why would you need Xtorrent for PC? We've got μTorrent.

If you're having trouble using other mac bit torrent applications as you've said on your blog "Not the most user friendly process" Have you ever actually tried?
The official mac bit torrent program works a little like this:
1. Download .torrent file
2. Double Click .torrent file
3. Choose where you want to save it
4. Dance around while you wait for your download to complete.
As for the "Search for Torrent" option, he's promoting Ninja Torrenters. ie. People who jump on to simply download a file, and then run away, not seeding it at all.
I sure hope he doesn't decide it should be shareware either, the number one reason I don't use Acquisition is that "WHOAH! LOOK AT ME, I'M JUMPING IN THE DOCK AND YOU HAVE TO CLICK ME AND THEN CLICK I WANNA REGISTER LATER" it seems to be quite intrusive with the urge to want to be registered.
It's just a more expensive way to do the thing you do with the free programs.

Xtorrent uses libtransmission as its backend which comes from the FREE and EASY TO USE client Transmission. There are other easy to use clients as well, like Tomato. As for a PC version uTorrent easily outclasses Xtorrent from a feature point of view. Of course it isn't as sexy but that is due to the framework the programmers are given to work with.
