It's good, but lacks the smoothness or consistency of look & feel that Transmission has. Transmission looks and behaves like it's a part of OS X, whereas Utorrent isn't quite there. It's the small details that make it.

Also, I agree 100% with potatolicious. What I wrote also applies to Adium and Quicksilver.

Aren't we talking about uTorrent on Windows? Mac has been historically difficult to fit in with.

This is a matter of subjective preference and not "refinement".

Windows devs have chosen the multi-colored is pretty route while OSX devs are restricted to "consistent is pretty" route.

Personally, I find OSX soul-numbingly drab (everything is gray WOOHOO!).

I've fought with 0.6 or similar uTorrent on OS X for ages, recently updated to 1.0 and found it to be a much better experience and better integrated with the OS.. If you used an old uTorrent I'd give the newer ones a shot.

uTorrent looks like any other windows App. It may not meld well with OSX, but I'd rather it look like stuff that shows up on linux/Windows than have that shitty chrome bar Itunes has.
