nisakiman Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Been using μtorrent for torrent downloads for some time now - recently (couple of weeks ago, new PC, was using flashget on the old one) installed BitComet for program downloads - nice and user friendly. However, it has decided today to become the default torrent downloader, which I don't want - I prefer to keep μtorrent as the default. I'm not an expert, just a user, and I can't seem to find a way to restore the status quo, that is, μtorrent as the default torrent downloader. Can one of you techies out there tell me how I can do this? I'd like to keep BitComet for other types of download, but want it to ignore torrents. And while I'm here, does anyone know why it's known as "U" torrent, when the logo is a Greek "M" in lower case? Would have thought it would be known as "mtorrent".... Just a thought... Cheers...

mardyman Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 If you right click the torrent file and the select "open with" then "choose program" Click utorrnt and then tick the box at the bottom that says "always use the selected program" that will make Utorrent your default option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 But bitcomet likes to take over associations whenever you run it, so you need to turn that setting off in its preferences.Given bitcomet's spying record (yes it has one, and it has proof to back it up) I wouldn't touch it. I'd just uninstall it and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 μ is pronounced "mew" and written in english mu. So it really should be mutorrent. :-) EngineeringGeekmode[OFF] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
