joshace Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Brave dot com is a great new browser, but it "intercepts" torrents and tries to download them itself. The idea is that anybody can now access torrents without having to install 3rd party software or set anything up. The bad thing is, the Brave torrent client sucks! How can I get Brave to work with Utorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike20021969 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Make sure uTorrent is still associated with torrents: (Options>)Preferences>General>Windows Integration>Associate with torrent files. If that doesn't help, scour Brave's options to see if you can select an alternate/default program to handle torrent files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshace Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yes.. utorrent is still set to be associated with torrents - and works that way with Opera, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge... But BRAVE is still grabbing those torrents instead of handing them over to Utorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike20021969 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 You could try asking on the Brave forum: https://community.brave.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshace Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'm trying to ask on the Brave forum now... they don't seem to give very good answers. I think I figured out how to do it.. which makes sense... In OTHER browsers, when a torrent file is clicked on, it automatically ask you to SAVE it - and when you click on the saved file, it brings up Utorrent. With BRAVE, when a torrent file is clicked on, it gives you the option of STARTING it or SAVING it. Pick SAVE and then click on the saved file. If you click on START.. BRAVE uses it's own primitive torrent client to load the torrent and attempt to download the file. So, just ignore the START button and click on SAVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
