yellow68 Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hello I'm new on this forum so don't know if this is already mentioned. When i want to download a file from TPB uTorrent doesn't open,so no download. It had done it before though. Anyone can help me with this i'm using Win10?

PiusX Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 What version of utorrent are you using? Sounds like you got a file association problem did you change something during the setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike20021969 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 What browser are you using? Firefox gives the option to select uTorrent as default handler for magnet and torrent files: Other browsers may offer a similar option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check whether uTorrent is the set value in the following registry keys (these locations are for Windows XP though): HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Magnet\shell\open\command HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Torrent File\shell\open\command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike20021969 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Here's the registry key with values reflecting the location of uTorrent on your system: http://www.mediafire.com/download/9xr27tbh24n44vj/Torrent_File.reg Change the extension to txt if you wish to inspect the values (using notepad). Revert back to reg if you wish to double-click the file and add it your registry. A restart of your computer is usually needed to make the change. Disclaimer: I cant guarantee this will even help. So proceed at your own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
