Transmission is excellent, but you should use Pidgin for any Instant Messaging. Get Evolution Mail for emails. If you do get it, I'll help you set it up

ok you don't talk anymore.
Adium is based on libpurple, just like pidgin. It's more maccentric.

It's like how it's better to use NeoOffice instead of OpenOffice on a Mac.

also Mail.app is fine why would he need evoluton.

QuoteCan I run Pidgin on Mac OS X?
Yes you can, but we do not provide a package for it. The reason being that in order to use Pidgin on Mac OS X, you need to install an X server and GTK+, which we are not prepared to support. You can either compile Pidgin (and its dependencies) yourself, or you can use the fink installer available from http://fink.sf.net. If you would like a native aqua interface or a user-friendly installer, we suggest trying Adium, available at http://www.adiumx.com/

most of those apps suck too

The Unarchiver is much better than Stuffit, Shiira is completely dead now and worthless, you know exactly what i think about firefox, and there's some other stuff i don't feel like commenting on

Also, iChat is a default app, maggot.

The Unarchiver suddenly stopped working for me and I don't know why. :'(

Why use NeoOffice OR OpenOffice when you can easily crack iWork and use Pages? It's by far the best word processor out there.  baddood;

Also I don't think Newsfire has been mentioned, it's my personal favorite for RSS management.

By the way, definitely check out TUAW (http://www.tuaw.com/) and get an RSS aggregator (like NewsFire) and sign up for their RSS feed... they publish a lot of good Mac stuff, including an overabundance of stuff for Mac beginners this time of year.

I was saying I've been using Stuffit with Tiger and Leopard since I got a Mac years ago, and incidentally I've never had a problem with Stuffic in a classic OS environment either
