Press COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to open the Task Manager. Select BitTorrent in the list and click the Force Quit button. If that doesn't work. Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder, select the BitTorrent process in the process list then click on the Quit icon in the toolbar, then click on the Force Quit button.


If none of this works then hold down the Power button for 5-10 seconds and the computer will shutdown. Then you can restart. Running down the battery is not a good solution.
