Bit torrent client for OS 9

Question

Bit torrent client for OS 9

Hi All, I am thinking about installing OS 9.2 onto my PowerMac G4 cube. However, I have only ever used OS X and I am trying to find suitable applications to make is an OS that I can use daily. I am struggling to find a bit torrent client (Similar to Transmission for OS X) that will run on OS 9. Has anyone any ideas?

Macbook Air 2,1, Mac OS X (10.6.2), Power Macintosh G4 1.25 DP (FW 800)

Here's a download site for old Mac apps http://mac.oldapps.com/ , but there don't appear to be any bit torrents for OS 9.

 Cheers, Tom 😉

You marked this as answered, but....there are no bittorrent clients for OS9.

I use Cabos 0.7 (google it to download), mostly for audio. It's better than Limewire, and although it takes a few minutes to connect, once it's going it's really good. I also use Bitcomet in Virtual PC 6 running Windows 2000 SP3. That works scary well, but of course, it's not quite Macintosh.....

Well, that is the answer (unless somebody pops up with an answer now). I'm glad the OP marked it as answered because people also have to realize that sometimes "no" is the answer to a question, even if not the one for which they were looking.
