I'm considering buying a MacBook for the future but have heard you can't download torrents onto them, is that true? If you can download them how do you do so?
I think Utorrent has a version that works with Mountain lion and other Mac osx. So yes.http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/mac
Don't know who told you that but as long as you have internet connectivity it should be so. Isps some of them have blocked some torrent sites. But there are ways around you will learn in time.
