EllyFitz Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Can anybody out there help me with this problem I'm experiencing when trying to use Utorrent???? Basically when I try to download a torrent instead of utorrent downloading it, it automatically opens up a window for a file download which seems to be going nowhere. When I open up utorrent there is nothing being downloaded for some strange reason. Its only since today that I've been experiencing difficulties and I even uninstalled and reinstlled Utorrent but that didn't seem to help!!!! Anyone got any ideas wat I'm doing wrong???Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 µTorrent won't open torrent files even though I associated torrents with it.Make sure the "Associate with .torrent files" button is greyed out in the General section of the options. If it is and Firefox gives you errors like "Invalid menu handle" when opening the .torrent or opens another client, click (within Firefox) Tools -> Options -> Content -> Manage, remove TORRENT from the list and hit OK. If it is Explorer or other programs giving the error, you may need to right click a .torrent file, Open With -> Browse, look for µTorrent and check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file." If all else fails, click (within Explorer) Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types, and remove TORRENT from the list. Then try to use the "Associate with .torrent files" button again.From the link I gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
