So I’m a big torrent user. I love being able to say “screw you, VCR” and get my news when I want it, how I want it. My main tool of choice has been uTorrent. It’s fast, effective, and most awesomely – has a web user interface!….
…or it did until Firefox 3 came out. FF3 has been giving me its fair share of troubles, but that’s a story for another time. There is a “fix” available – but it’s had mixed responses, and I usually use the web UI from my macbook pro (so damn convenient!). I didn’t want to “down grade” firefox on the MBP since it’s been working great (except for the location bar occasionally not working…) so I figured – let’s find a new option.
I have parallels installed. Do I really want to launch it for utorrent to add new torrents? No. Overkill.
What about Safari? Oh, no, same perpetual “loading” screen – until I remember Safari’s Web Development Feature!
After I set up Safari with
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true
I was able to get into the Safari Develop Open With selection – and behold! Netscape Navigator to the rescue!
