lifthatiron Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I downloaded utorrents without a problem, and have the website for searches set to "the pirate bay". Whenever I click on the DOWNLOAD THIS TORRENT button it always pops up with a screen that says this:---------------------------C:\Documents and Settings\carlos\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\O1QJKPQZ\ACDC-Love_Song.mpg.3483155.TPB[1].torrent---------------------------C:\Documents and Settings\carlos\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\O1QJKPQZ\ACDC-Love_Song.mpg.3483155.TPB[1].torrentInvalid menu handle.---------------------------OK ---------------------------I click ok or cancel and it will not download the torrent. Can someone either direct me to a place that can help me get on my way with downloading torrents, or tell me what my problem is. I am very new to this so if this is posted in the wrong section, dont snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifthatiron Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 is this just too obvious of a question to answer, or have other people gotten this problem too. I am not a computer genious, I just want to make this program download what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangtime Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I dont want to alarm you and i may be way off base but Love_Song etc i have seen on peoples machines usually mean a virus. Maybe not from what you are tryng to dl now but from some other source already dloaded and infecting your machine. Do you use antivirus? Which one? I would start Googling. As i said i may be way off base as i'm pretty new to bittorent also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
µtorrent-Guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 No alarm!!!! No problem!! "Invalid menu handler" should be in the FAQ! (IIRC)if not here a fast explaination.the fileestension .torrent is not associatet with µtorrent. your browser simply do not know what to do with it.either use the button in µtorretn to associate it or just save the file to your HDD and use the open torrent function in µT to load it.

Ultima Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 The FAQ explains how to associate if it isn't doing so properly through the button in µTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifthatiron Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 ok thanks for the explanation, I dont think that the love song is a virus, its an ACDC song. I use Spy Sweeper, and Nortan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Ugh Norton... not a very good antivirus, or just software in general... Kaspersky's much better on either front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I think he got confused with the "I love you" virus that spread through email a few years back. Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
