I used to use transmission on a mac some years back and never had any
trouble.  Several different torrent clients have been able to download
the magazine torrents fine, I only recommend utorrent because its
popular and known to work, certainly others may work just fine too.

It's my understanding that you should not need port forwards in order
to use bittorrent, although you will get better download speeds if you
do set one up.  I don't know about ISPs blocking torrents, I haven't
run into that personally but who knows.

You can directly download all of the files in the torrent from
http://cococoding.com in any case, and the rainbows should all be on
malted media by now I think.  Not sure if Luis is ready for another
mag but the 68 micros will hopefully be there at some point too.
