As we already mentioned, even some good torrenting programs that used to work just fine on Macs are no longer a viable option for Mac users who have upgraded their computer to Catalina or Big Sur. Furthermore, some torrent clients that seem to have versions for macOS are not very stable when installed on a Mac and could start freezing and glitching, making it difficult to download anything with them. For instance, if you’ve never used such a program before, it may be best if you start with a torrent client that’s easy to understand and has a simpler interface that only gives you the most important features of the program instead of overwhelming you with advanced functions you likely don’t need.Īlso, note that there are many torrenting programs that aren’t particularly good and may actually do more harm than good as they might include lots of aggressive ads, and/or install additional software on the computer that may be problematic (adware, browser hijackers, PUPs, and more). However, the different torrent clients have different features and are best suited for different types of users.

Most torrent clients work in a similar way, enabling the user to open torrent files and, through them, download the larger files that the metadata in the torrent file points to.
