antidot Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 Hi, for me this is all really new. Im not used with torrents. So far i dont get downloadrates above 30K ...But thats not the Problem.When i started utorrent 1st time i was asked to prompt for set utorrent as default client for torrent-files. I did so.But now if i click on a torrent link it is still opened in shareaza.How can i change this?
Chrono79 Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 In utorrent, go to Options - Preferences - General Options. In the frame Windows Integration click Associate with .torrent files. That should work for you.This post should be in Troubleshooting forum, I think.
slimy Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 tell shareaza to stop being the default for torrents.
ScubaSteve Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 make sure u definately uncheck it in shareaza options under web. shareaza likes keeping the associating even if you try to set it to another program.
r00ted Posted October 23, 2005 Report Posted October 23, 2005 cant you just like uninstall sharaza? Or does it have other purposes?
Ultima Posted October 23, 2005 Report Posted October 23, 2005 Well, since few people use Shareaza purely for its torrent functionality, I'd assume antidot uses the other networks as well, so it probably still has a use on his computer =
jroc Posted October 23, 2005 Report Posted October 23, 2005 I had this same problem with Azureus still installed. I had to go to:Start/Control Panel/Folder OptionsGo to the File Types tab.Scroll down the Registered Files box til u see Torr.. (Torrent File)Where it says "Details for torrent extention", see what BitTorrent app it opens with. (Mine still said Azureus) Click "Change", scroll til u find uTorrent, click on it (so its highlighted in blue) and check "always use the selected program...." box Sometimes U got to set it from here if clients are fighting over torrent files and u dont wanna un-install anything.Also if u wanna go back n forth between using different BitTorrent appz with no hassels, when u download a .torrent file save it, dont open it. Then go to the .torrent folder and right click the .torrent and chose "open with" and choose the p2p app u wanna open it with. But this time, dont check "always use the selected..." box. This way I can use uTorrent and any BitTorrent app on the same PC easier. I know from experience Shareaza always try to take over .torrent files. Plus when I installed uTorrent and set it as my default, Azureus still opened.
