Kas Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I just reinstalled utorrent after not using it for a few months. (Previous problems with crashing, etc.) It's working great but the way I connect the files for download has changed - this is probably just a noob issue but can someone explain how to fix it?It used to be when I was at the torrent site (mininova, pirate bay, etc.) I would click on "download this torrent" and a pop up would ask if I wanted to RUN or SAVE the file. I would click RUN and utorrent would open - I 'd click "OK" and the file (.avi or .rar) would begin to download to my comuter.NOW when I click on "download this torrent" a pop up asks if I want to FIND or SAVE. I click SAVE and the .torrent file is downloaded to my computer. I have to then open utorrent, go to file and click "add this torrent" to get the actual download to start.Is this just how the program now works? Or is there a way I can adjust it so that I works like it used to. (I'm using all default settings.)Thanks in advance for any help. (BTW - I'm using XP, s3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kas Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 What do you mean? I'm using IE7, just like I was before. I clicked on your link and saw nothing relating to my issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Because your file association about .torrent is surely broken in your XP SP3. Reassociate .torrent with utorrent.exe and your browser will ask you to run again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
