Hello!
Now, this is just plain incredible. I installed a software called Crossover which allows you to run Windows software directly on Mac OS X without paying for and installing Windows. When I had installed it, I had tested it using Opera and Tally. Opera had worked and Tally hadn't.
Recently, I started getting 'Unregistered torrent' errors for some of the torrents I wished to download. I searched for a solution and the only one seemed to be that I had to use µTorrent, which does not have a Mac version.
I had forgotten that I had Crossover so I was dejected till now. Today I suddenly remembered about Crossover and still thought that it wouldn't work because it wasn't in the list of Crossover's supported applications and seems to be a complex thing because it involves having a forwarded port and a lot of uploading and downloading to and from the internet. I decided to give it a whirl anyway.
I downloaded and ran the EXE file. It did not respond for about a minute and I thought it wouldn't work. Then suddenly, µTorrent showed up (in all of its ugly glory, being a Windows application) and I started two downloads and they successfully started downloading.
YAY!!!! I am so incredibly happy that I had to have a let-out. I thought it might be useful information for the tech geeks out here, so I posted it here. Sorry if it was unwarranted and not required.
Here is a screenshot for those that are interested:

Isn't this freakin' awesome? I am sincerely in love with my Mac, if such a thing is possible. YAYAYA! W00t!
