FahKingNut Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I've recently installed the newest version of uTorrent. I do a lot of magnet links, but suddenly it won't download torrents. A family member had been on my PC recently, but I don't think they screwed this up. It may have a simple fix, but I'm heavily medicated and can't focus enough to think of it. Help?

mike20021969 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Go into Options>Preferences>General. Under the Windows Integration section, are you able to press the Associate with torrent files button? If you can, does that correct the problem...? If that doesn't help: What browser are you using? (Note: Some have reported problems when using Google Chrome with Magnet Links though...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FahKingNut Posted April 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 The "Associat with torrent files" was already checked. No change. I'm using Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll down to magnet & click on it. Use the small arrow to access the drop down menu. If Use µTorrent (default) is not set, then you need to set it so it is. Then scroll down to TORRENT file & click on it. Use the small arrow to access the drop down menu. If Use µTorrent (default) is not set, then you need to set it so it is.

In that case all I can suggest is a re-install and, when you get to the point in the image below, make sure the File Types boxes are checked.
