I have been trying to install BitTorrent and µTorrent on my Macbook, and it's been 3 days I am unable to install it and error is "Could not initialize a installer". I have searched multiple forums and applied whatever they were suggesting. Following is the screenshot attached I have been receiving.

What I have tried so far

  • Tried the "JFX14" comment,

    1. Disable your Firewall by going to System Preferences>Security & Privacy. Click the Firewall tab then click the lock icon at the bottom of the window this will enable you to turn the Firewall on or off.

    2. Be sure you're not connected to a VPN or Proxy. < (I was able to install the latest uTorrent when I disconnected from my VPN). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5818206

  • So you are connecting to the Internet through a VPN? Are you sure that the VPN doesn't filter certain connections (including probably Torrents)?

  • My firewall is off but still facing issue after updating my OS to El Capitan. I think the issue is in the El Capitan OS so if some one found any solution than please mention it.... thanks

Although I never got the answer, but I have found an alternative solution. I've used Transmission for the Torrents.

Pros

  • torent works, almost every torrent
  • doesn't crash

Cons

  • UI sucks

Download a previous version of µTorrent. I had the same problem, downloaded 1.6.5. Works flawlessly.

  • Why isn't the new one working? Not only bittorrent even utorrent is causing the same error Nov 3, 2015 at 17:01
  • Don't know but the previous version worked for me Nov 3, 2015 at 17:09
  • Well i want to install the new version and and if it is happening to multiple users than there should be a solution or a remedy. Btw I tried the you said, but it is not working now. Nov 3, 2015 at 17:12
  • I am still using yosemite though, so maybe its something with el capitan Nov 3, 2015 at 17:14
  • Its is same on yosmite too. I have tried in yosmite as well thought it is something to yosmite, but it never worked on both Nov 3, 2015 at 17:15
