notaguru Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 P3/WXP/Firefox/uT1.6Avast+Windows DefenderuT has been working great - but today when I select a torrent to d/l, nothing happens. Absolutely nothing, no error codes, messages, etc. Can't think of any system changes, everything else works perfectly. I don't know enough to diagnose this...Tried different torrents, and different torrent sites (Demonoid, etc.)RebootedTurned off A/V, etc.Faced east and rebooted again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Can you clarify? Do you mean double-clicking on .torrent files doesn't open it in µTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 If that's the case, you may just need to re-associate µT with torrents. Open the preferences and click the "Associate with .torrent files" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notaguru Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thanks.Under Options > Preferences > Windows Integration I see:1. Associate with .torrent files (in a grayed-out box)2. Check association on startup (checked)I've just UNchecked #2 and will reboot, just to see what happens...<time>No change. Worse, uT wants to update to 1.6.1 Build 589, and PREVX (a pretty good A/V that I use on installations) thinks it's malware - has a lot to say about it, in fact.

notaguru Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I can manually start a torrent by loading the URL into uT... but it still won't start automatically by clicking, etc. Once it starts it completes the torrent perfectly.What's the #$@#!! about malware?

Firon Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Are you using Firefox?Prevx has misdetected µt as malware several times before, so just ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notaguru Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Right - Firefox 2.0.0.1. Would uT be better off with IE (shudder!)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Nah, nothing like that, but try checking this FAQ entry out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 No, Firefox works fine. The problem is that sometimes Firefox messes up the associations, so you sometimes need to remove the default download action for TORRENT. Options -> Content -> Manage, browse for TORRENT and remove the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notaguru Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 That did it! I deleted the previous association within Firefox, and on the next try it asked - now it's fine.Thanks much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I've had the issue happen before, which is why I thought it could've been your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
