ajones81 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 There seem to be lots of queries of late regarding how to make LimeWire stop stealing the .torrent association from uTorrent, so here goes:Check the following link for the relevant LimeWire settings:http://www.limewire.org/wiki/index.php?title=Zootella.Register(Updated image provided by jewelisheaven. Original image uploaded by ajones81 can be found here.)As shown, go to the Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> File Association section and deselect '".torrent" files' , then OK your way out.Also in uTorrent, go to the Preferences (Ctrl+P) -> General -> Windows Integration section and press the button labeled Associate with .torrent files as shown below. Also make sure the Check association on startup option is checked. That should just about do it!(Updated image provided by Ultima. Original image uploaded by ajones81 can be found here.)

MissBrowne Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thank you so much ajones81!! It totally worked! Now,for those of you who may have the same problem with mp3 rocket, I followed the instructions given after opening mp3 rocket & going to the options section to get to the the player section, it's different from limewire. mp3 rocket doesn't have the area for links and file types. It's just a gray area. So I couldn't do anything there. I simply skipped it and followed the instructions for utorrent, preferences->general->windows integration section and pressed the button "associate with.torrent files" and checked the "check association on start up" box. Problem solved. uttorent is now my default torrent downloader again. And don't worry dreadwingnight, I will never email you, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Here's a more updated picture... This was from 4.18.8, and as you can see the filetype settings were moved around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 EEK, I did it, installed the newest LimeWire 5.1.2. Though I was tempted to ... immediately wipe it, instead I provide these (anyone who has installed LW and made it here because they have uT, I'd hope uninstalls LW, but if not...) screenshots for educational purposes. Nothing needs to be updated up-top, this post has plenty of keywords on its own for Limewire 5.Also checking out the OP the link ... goes nowhere? Being that I never looked at the wiki beforehand I can only assume the linked information may be http://wiki.limewire.org/index.php?title=User_Guide_Filetypes=Installer uncheck -^ ^-loading screen= =options moved to tab -^ ^-super options= =RAM usage -^ ^-system usage=Can I also mention this, the RAM usage is horrendous, and it lags on this P4 2.4 GHz.NOONE use Limewire, EVER, please, just don't do it!! Every time someone downloads java-bloated software, The Architect wipes a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydman1 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 This is indeed a great tip ajones-thank you indeed.Seems the same settings should be used for Frostwire,as this is rooted in Limewire Pro.Thanks again for the instruction.

severedsolo Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 this is why you should actually read the installation screens.... it does ask on first startup whether you want it to take over torrent and magnets.... simply uncheck them.... not hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
