Download torrent error!

[mique]

I have been using U torrent for years with no problems. I just installed a new OS win7 and downloaded U torrent and started to use it. When I click on a torrent link in my browser the download window appears as usual and then I get this pop up.....

C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Local\Temp\Doctors (8th September 2010) [PDTV (XviD)].torrent could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location.

If I right click the same torrent link I can 'save as' in a directory of my choice!!

Can any one help sort this problem out for me?

Thanks,

Moogly,

Thanks for the links. I cannot find folder appdata\utorrent on my laptop! Is there a way to see the utorrent file location from within the utorrent program?

Windows+R then type %appdata%\utorrent.

I found the folder, appdata\roaming\utorrent

Followed your directions and I get the same error when clicking on a torrent link.

Any ideas what I can try now?

Because you have some missing privileges on this folder or your user account is limited.

Are you running Win 7 as admin?

Close µT and restart it as admin (right click on the desktop icon).

And check the read/write permissions for this folder %appdata%\utorrent.

Right clicking and running as admin fixed the problem. Thanks for your help, appreciated.
