mrcakezone Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 So everytime I download a torrent and try to start it up with utorrent, i get an error message stating: "Unable to load (torrent name): Invalid torrent file!" I thought it might actually be a bad torrent file, but this happens with every torrent I try, and up untill now utorrent has worked fine.Any help is much appreciated.

Ultima Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Every torrent, including the OpenOffice.org ones? If so, make sure you associated torrent files correctly with µTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcakezone Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Yeah, i've tried that. Still gives the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 What browser are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcakezone Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Firefox, but I don't think the browser matters since im just saving the torrent file to the desktop and then opening it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Does it work when you drag the .torrent file into µTorrent? If so, then your torrent association is busted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcakezone Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 what torrents from where?All torrents from everywhere I try, I've gone to about 5 torrent listing sites and downloaded random ones with lots of seeds just to see if it would work with anything, but it gives the same error every time.Does it work when you drag the .torrent file into µTorrent? If so, then your torrent association is busted.No, I tried fixing the torrent association before though, utorrent is aleready set to be associated with all torrents.

Ultima Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 So you're saying "no" as in, "no, it doesn't work when the torrent file is dragged into µTorrent"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Have you checked using TorrentSpy to make sure the torrents aren't getting mangled in some way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcakezone Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 When I try to run torrentspy, I get an error about just-in-time debugging...Not sure if it's a related problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Something's definitely corrupting your torrents if even OpenOffice is showing up corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
