BitTorrent is an excellent torrent client for OS X (and other OS's too): http://www.bittorrent.com/

Hello there! :)

I hope you are well. I know I am replying after more than 15 years to the original post of yours, but I was interested in experimenting a bit with the repository you so kindly created and decided to share. Unfortunately, the link seems to be dead. Is there any chance I could find a way to recover it? Do you still have the original files?

Thank you dearly in advance.

The Wayback Machine has archived copies of the link; you have to go back to like 2011 to get the right thing:

Thank you very much. You have been immensely helpful.
I don't know why I didn't think of using Internet Archive.

Thanka again. Have a splendid day.

Hey there! I finally got around to grab a laptop and get to tinkering with the samples, but I realized that although the main link that you posted works, none of the links to download the actual files seem to be working - they're all 404, and I can't seem to find them even with the Wayback Machine. Is there anything else I could do? Or am I to give up on this entirely?

Thanks in advance
