Honestly, I haven't used uTorrent on my Mac since writing this how-to. I was a victim of Comcast bittorrent throttling and, at the time, uTorrent was giving me slightly better performance than other BT clients. Right now, I use Transmission for all my bittorrenting needs, it works really well and does so without any issues. For those looking to uTorrent on the Mac, don't waste any more time and just download Transmission [http://www.transmissionbt.com/download.php].

There seems to be quite a few other external things necessary that weren't included. I'm on a PowerPC Mac which might account for some of the issues but probably not anywhere near all of them. Darwine seems to need Freetype to run and Freetype needs Darwinports/Macports to be installed from some type of GUI. MacPorts doesn't install a GUI of any kind, so you have to use it, via command line, to install freetype and then on top of all of that...atleast on my system I'm instructed to install some AFM files(?) I definitely would like to hear what you may have to say about what other installs you'd already done prior to this one and what your solutions were.
