If you're a Mac user, Transmission is one of the first torrent downloaders you should try! This open-source product is designed specifically for Mac so that it achieves the fastest download speeds possible. Some of you bemoaned support for remote management by mobile app, and the lack of an Mac client, but for those folks using Windows and Linux, you suggested it’s worth a look. There are a handful of excellent BitTorrent clients for Mac, but uTorrent takes the cake thanks to its great feature set, admirable flexibility, overall speed, and $0 price tag.

Can someone recommend a good torrent client for the Mac, other than uTorrent?
[The only problem I have with uTorrent is that occasionally it doesn't respect the upload limit. This is a known issue, and no setting seems to fix it in my case.]
I am looking for these features:
Ability to select files to download (in case of multi-file torrent) BEFORE the download begins
Show transfer rates in the dock icon
Assign relative priorities to files within a torrent
Good, clean UI (optional)
No bloatware/adware like a built in media player, ads, yahoo-search-plugins, etc (optional)
Try Tribler, designed to fight censorship by using built-in anonymity:
There is an article about it here:
It's open source too.

Try qbittorrent.org
It does all the things you asked for, except showing the transfer rates in the Dock icon. But I didn't check for this option very thorough, it might have it :-)
One of the best features for me is that it can download a file in sequential order (think of a video that you can start watching it, before the download finishes 100%).

One more venerable classic client is Deluge.
Completely free from advertising and unwanted plugins, and has a focus on providing features the community needs, such as private downloads, password protection, and scheduling and bandwidth options.
Supports a range of plugins that expand its functionality. The plugins can utilise privacy blocklists (which you shouldn't rely on), labelling, scheduling and notification options. You can monitor folders for files, and add them automatically.
