Feb 28, 2016 8:17 PM in response to Linmuseby Kappy,Ask the developer for support. That is not an Apple product for which these forums are reserved. A bit of advice: stay away from torrents. They are the prime way for malware to be distributed.

Feb 28, 2016 8:21 PM in response to Linmuseby babowa,I don't know for sure because I wouldn't allow any of my Macs anywhere near sites which offer free downloads of things which cost money elsewhere as they quite often include additions you'd rather not have (ad/malware). My guess would be that the new feature SIP is playing a role:

Feb 29, 2016 1:56 PM in response to Linmuseby JimmyCMPIT,you may want to check your computer for malware if you DL BitTorrent. Many sites that host the installer put added "bonus" in the packages.
Just sayin.

Feb 29, 2016 1:59 PM in response to Linmuseby Drew Reece,If you must use bit torrent try another client app.
Transmission may work for you but it can depend on your network connection (public or corporate networks can block certain connections).
Despite what everyone here assumes there are valid and legal reasons for downloading torrent files, good luck.

That's what, 1-2% of what people use torrent clients for? Let's be real with one another, here. 99% of the time, if someone is using a torrent client, they're downloading copyrighted material they don't want to pay for. You know it, and I know it.
