Funny you should ask...  I just installed TSSnet on my mac here.  1.2 is at
least two releases old.  I installed v1.3 and Alisa announced and shipped
TSSnet 2.0 about a month ago.

We have had no Mac crash problems here.  We also use Alisashare here, and have
had very good results with both products.
