What OS are you using? What is the full path to the Error status message .. You can see it in the General tab.

hullo,

i have a similar problem. message i get states unable to save.torrent to`c:program...\then tittle of download.

it gives me the option to retry or to cancel. my os is vista

[thelittlefire]

Vista doesn't allow saving to %PROGRAM FILES% . Have you set the Ctrl-P > Directories to \program files anywhere?

[MSQUI]

That Worked!! Thanks

[thelittlefire]

I should correct myself, I BELIEVE you can save there when administrator... but as a normal user which uTorrent normally is... it's a bad idea to save there on Vista. Glad it fixed your issue.

I have a simular problem. When I try to download a file to the PC (as administrator) the file is not visable anywhere ( I have tried to download to several different directories), and when I try to go directy on open the torrent file from the web (should open utorrent directly) nothing happens. I use OS Vista, and everything worked 100% just a couple of weeks ago.

I have checked the windows firewall and utorrents files are allowed (TCP and UDP in)

Any ideas??? I am lost here.

Thanks

You should have created your own thread. Is there an error in the Logger tab saying "unable to load XXXXXXX.torrent"?

You checked General tab > Save As? Right click > Open Containing Folder fails? What about from the Files tab?

[rhelgest]

Hi. There is no errorsmessages under the Logger tab. General and files tab are both empty. I use utorrent v1.8 build 11813. I have tried Bitlord as well but the torrent just disapears. Can this be a problem somewhere in Vista?

So what happens when you Ctrl-C copy the URL for the torrent, or right click "copy link address", go to uTorrent GUI Ctrl-U, and load the torrent that way?

[rhelgest]

hi to copy the url directly into utorrent works. Why does this not open automatically in the utorrent? Any settings on the computer?

[thelittlefire]

You should double check the filetype in your browser then. Remove the .TORRENT filetype, then either re-make it or, when a .TORRENT comes up next time, select the EXE file and "perform always" or whatever option is there.

Hi again. I am not sure I understood this correct. I tried the following in Internet Explorer . 1 : Tools, 2; Alternatives for internet, 3: Programs, 4: Internet Programs/Specify program 5: Attach a filetype to a program. (Here is the following filetypes attached to utorrent (.BC! and .btsearch and .torrent). I am not able to remove any of this, only choose between other program to open the files with. I tried to attach the .torrent file to another program and then back again to urorrent, but it still does not open automaticaly

Using windows 7. When I try to save, even after setting up designated files in C drive, it comes back 'cant save .torrent..... HELP!!
