thany Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 µTorrent oftenly asks where to save a torrent twice, after opening it from a webpage using Opera 8.51. It doesn't matter if the torrent contains a single file, or a folder.Is it a bug? Or am I doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Opera has a built-in torrent thingy, right? I recall people having trouble with it... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 No, Opera 8.51 doesn't. It only appeared in the Technology Preview build (way back in Opera 8.10 TP1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Well then I don't know, maybe this is a specific bug with that browser... :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 I agree, it probably is a bug with Opera. I recall (before I switched back to Firefox) that when I downloaded stuff from Sourceforge, and I clicked the actual download link (after selecting a server), it would ask me where to save the file, but immediately after that, it asked me again. I assume it has something to do with the meta-refresh occurring even though I clicked a link... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thany Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 I guess It'll have to do then. I don't feel like using Firefox, Opera still is the best Maybe, just maybe µTorrent can work around this behavior by preventing more than one "save to" dialog the same torrent?

ermi Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 It happens to me as well on my new computer. I'm using Opera 9.But: It didn't happen anywhere else, I had Opera installed on 2 other systems and it never happened.So I guess it's (at least a bit) system-dependant.

Vicsun Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I posted this on the Opera forum but I'll go ahead and repost it here:The problem arises when both Windows and Opera are told to open .torrent files with uTorrent - they both do it and uTorrent ends up trying to download the same torrent twice. To fix this you can either associate .torrents with another program in Windows (bad idea unless you don't want to use uTorrent), or tell Opera not to use uTorrent as a default client and let Windows handle which program opens the file. To do this go to tools -> preferences -> advanced -> downloads -> torrent -> edit and click on the show download dialog radial button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
