  i have an intel mac mini, it crashes on average of once per day. it doesn't seem to happen when i do something specific. i always have iTunes, Firefox and Azureus running. and i have 2GB of ram. are macs just not reliable? does the mini suck and other macs are better?

  i had crashes every day on my ppc pb g4 and it turns out it was itunes so i had to downgrade. azureus also is quite hungry. have you tried something lighter, like transmission?

  I know Azureus causes lots of problems on various machines. For example, it clashes with Airport in Leopard. After I stopped using it (and went back to Transmission), everything was fine again. I'm going back to Azureus (maybe) when updates are actually made. Have you searched Google about this problem?

  Kernel panics then. Have you got externals plugged in? If so try checking all your usb ports. Also just run disk utilities and check all your permissions etc etc

  panics. not good you should hardly ever see that. usually this is caused by bad RAM. have you upgraded RAM? if so remove the extra stick. like stated above, remove all external devices and run with keyboard and mouse, try to figure out whats causing it. my experience is that panics are usually caused by hardware problems but not always.

  you can also reinstall OS using the archive and install feature that will put a new system leaving your files untouched (make sure you backup first).

  Yeah, I suddenly started having kernel panics recently and doing just that fixed the problem.

  I repeatedly got kernel panics when using Azureus + Airport with Leopard. Try to use Transmission for a while and see what happens. Do you have Leopard installed?

  "Do you have Leopard installed?"
  yup. like you said, try transmission or other BT clients.

  not that it matters, but where are you getting you torrents from?
