cardmaster91@gmail.com Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I just made a topic about an interface issue then realized I have another problem. Magnet Links. When clicking a magnet link, one of two things happens. If uTorrent is closed everything works fine. I get the pop up window and life is good. However, if uTorrent is open I get the following message popup. "An older version of uTorrent is already running. Please shut down uTorrent and try again". So I close it, and then the magnet link will work. But that is a hassle to close uTorrent every time just to add a torrent. Anybody know what's going on? Oh, I've also tried in both Firefox quantum and lame internet explorer. I haven't tried chrome, I never liked chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardmaster91@gmail.com Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Never mind, I fixed it. I guess i'll just leave this in case somebody runs into the same issue. Could a mod change the title to say [ "uTorrent already running" magnet link - solved ] The problem was the resume file. It was marked as read only, actually the full uTorrent folder was, but I changed that and problem resolved. (right click on uTorrent folder in program files and uncheck the read only box). I also had to get permission for the folder. I use a nifty little tool called take ownership. Take Ownership a registry tweak that adds take ownership to the context menu. It will then open a command prompt and change the owner to the current user for every file within that folder. It resolves all permission and ownership problems with a simple right click. I definitely recommend getting it. Click here to download from howtogeek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
