here's a review of some major clients :

MAC CLIENTS : Pure Mac has ALL your Peer to Peer clients including torrent clients. also, there are a couple of MAC clients here along with some other p2p clients :
http://www.mac-p2p.com/ and here is a better site for torrent info and clients :
http://www.macdgran.com/torrent.htm
bits on wheels is a mac client too.
remember that many clients are buggy. each has different functions. some of the better ones dont look as snazzy as others. some look great but lack function. so you have to experiment to find one that works for YOU. there really isnt any such thing as the "best" client for everyone IMHO. its a matter of personal taste etc. however AZUREUS seems to be winning the client wars so far. if you are new to bt then i recommend bittornado, utorrent, xbt for ease of use. so happy hunting!
