Firefox download error, and file association not saving

Hi,

My first problem is that when I browse to a torrent with Firefox and choose to open it with uTorrent, I get a Download Error dialog with the text:

D:\DOCUME~1\User\Temp\torrent.torrent could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred.

Try saving to disk first and then opening the file.

Saving the file locally and then opening it does work, and so does opening it in uTorrent with Internet Explorer. The path in the error message is fine, folder permissions are fine (default permissions, running as a limited user in XP SP2), file/folder permissions for uTorrent.exe itself are fine.

My second problem is that whenever I run uTorrent I get the dialog asking to register the file association, but the association isn't registered and I continue to get the dialog.

Thanks

No, nothing like that. uTorrent is the only P2P program I use right now. I've tried Azureas before but I don't have it installed now and I'm not sure if it's been installed since the last reformat. I don't use Opera.

I've used uTorrent for a long time and I've only had these problems very recently. I don't think I have anything installed now that I didn't have when things were fine.

... untick the box in Ctrl-P -> General so it doesn't ask each time.

You could be running out of space on your TEMP volume. The error message is from Firefox, not uT. If you save the torrent, then auto-load it or manually click-drag or Ctrl-O/D add it does it load correctly?

If you set the association and it doesnot save THAT sounds like a limited user problem. If you run uT elevated does the problem persist?

Recreating the folder didn't work. It's actually D:\DOCUME~1\User\LOCALS~1\Temp for what that's worth, I mistyped it in my first post.

Creating the file association manually didn't get rid of the association prompt, but it did fix the Firefox download problem. Click link, open with uTorrent, file downloads, uTorrent pops up, file association dialog. I guess I can just disable the prompt now, but this whole thing seems weird and I don't like weird.

I've got over 5GB of space on the D drive, and from the start I could save a torrent to disk and then drag and drop it onto uTorrent.
