Having given this a try and get tell you that it really is as easy as Savid says. Simply subscribe to an RSS feed by adding its URL to Xtorrent and you will be presented almost instantly with a list of the latest files/folders from that feed. Each of these files/folders has a iTunes-esque download button next to it allowing you to download the file/folder in one click.

Also included were various performance improvements and a fix for missing tracker address. If you’re into torrents then this is the client to be using on OS X!

Xtorrent is available to purchase at a discounted price of $15.89 for a limited time only, after which it will return to $18.99.

The official list of bug fixes in this release is,

• Overlay issues not coming back in front of the main window.

The best part? It’s 100% FREE!

To quote the developer, “it’s like Spotlight for the web”, this is no lie. Not only does it support you with your searches however, it remembers what you have been searching for, flagging previously visited results on the fly. Don’t worry though, it’s all remembered on your Mac so you don’t have to worry about Big Brother watching you!

Install is simple, download the software from the Inquisitor 3 website, run the installer and you’re all ready. Launch Safari to begin!

If you’re into tweaking your apps then the Inquisitor preferences can be found alongside the normal Safari preferences on a new tab called Search. From here you can configure auto-completion, what kind of results should be returned & where they should be found etc. One of the most powerful yet simple features is the ability to add custom search engines (not just the usual Yahoo, Google etc). This is one of those apps that you will keep, use and nurture for a lifetime. Make sure you download it NOW!

To get you started with custom search engines why not add MacApper?

Once you’ve installed Inquisitor switch to the Search tab in Safari’s preferences and click the Edit Sites button. This will bring up a list of additional search engines each with a URL next to them. Click the + button below this list and select “New custom search shortcut…”. For the Site Name use “MacApper” and for the URL use “http://macapper.com/?s=%@”

Click Done, and perform a search to check out your results. It should look like something I made earlier…

The solution? Application Launchers. These are nothing new and there are a wide variety to choose from; QuickSilver, Overflow, Todos and the ol’ faithful Spotlight to name but a few. A new player has come onto the market with a new feature however. Valet, from 94West.

On the surface it is your basic launcher application. It allows you to organise your applications into categories and gives you quick access to them via a heads up disply, voice commands, the menu bar and the dock menu. Where it gets a little more complex however is in its interaction with Parallels. You can add shortcuts to your most popular Windows applications in the standard heads-up display, menubar etc. allowing you to quickly bridge the gap between OS X and Windows. If Parallels isn’t running when you open a particular app then Valet will launch it for you and open up the app once booted.

Valet costs $25 per license which may be a little steep for some however the Parallels integration should more than make it worth the money for some power users. How long before we see a plugin for QuickSilver with similar functionality?
