JOJOS170304 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 When I am trying to open a new torrent file I could not associated with utorrent. I have tried to do so either from utorrent options>preferences>general>associate with .torrent files or from firefox tools downloads open .torrent files with utorrent where when I choose the location of utorrent i get open with none selected. I get the following message: The file could not be opened, beacause the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.I am also using NOD32 with ZoneAlarm Pro where I have forward the ports for utorrent.Does anyone know what is going wrong? Let me point out that the other torrent clients are working fine. Thank you in advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hofshi Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Where is this option? In firefox or in utorrent?I am using 1.4.2 beta 427It's not in µtorrent, and not in Firefox, it's in your explorer (not internet explorer, but the explorer used to browse files):Try to open your explorer, (windows-E)go to Tools-->Folder options-->File types tabsearch for torrent fileand click change.now select utorrent.exe@Firon: since this is not the first or second time that I answer this question exactly, I think it is worthy of the FAQ...

Positivx Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I've been having the same problem. I've tried your fix hofshi, but it didn't seem to help. I already had it selected through explorer. I thought maybe the path was incorrect so I reselected utorrent and applied again. Then I went back to Firefox (closed and reopened) tried to assign utorrent to .torrent and again got the "None Selected" thing and then again the same message about the helper application.Any other suggestions?And thanks.
