[QUOTE="claudius753, post: 200069, member: 10917"] Do you mean to change "Macintosh HD" or to change the name of your Home folder (eg "johndoe") with the "house" picture? To change the name of "Macintosh HD", you can right click (or control click), get info, and just change it under "Name and Extension". DO NOT try to change the name of your Home folder in this way, you will screw up your account. [url]http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macgems/2004/12/changeshortname/index.php[/url] details an AppleScript that will do this, but I'd read through that article and make sure you back everything up first. For BitTorrent, I use Tomato, and Transmission is a popular option as well. Personally I think Azureus is ugly (it looks like and behaves more like a windows app), but it does have a lot of features.
