I believe torrent program are considered to be P2P which is against forum rules. Correct me if I am wrong mods.

Copied from forum rules:

P2P Instructions: The main purpose of P2P is to illegally obtain and provide copyrighted material. For this reason Tech Support Forum does not support P2P software. This includes Bearshare, Kazaa and many others.

This would technically be against the forum rules, because Bittorrent is a peer-to-peer protocol. But it was made simply to be a means to distributes large files quickly, not as a way to get things illegally (sure, it's become that, but that was never the initiative). There are plenty of legitimate uses for bittorrent. I don't know if the admin would make an exception for this.

That said, my client of choice is Azureus. It has a mac version, but you might have to dig for it.

To my knowledge, the sites that offer torrents for legitimate uses also offer sources for bittorrent applications. Such as in the case of Linux distributions. I'm closing this thread to any further discussions.
