kaymart Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hello,I've used utorrent for the basic torrent downloads for years. I started having this problem with 3.2.3, where I would click on the magnet torrents (I use piratebay) and the window would pop up, but the torrent information would never pop up, no matter how long I waited. I thought this might be because I had to update, so I updated to 3.3 and still the same thing. I have the Preferences>UI Settings>Show Option to change the name and location of torrents clicked. If I just go ahead and click "Okay" on the window, it still doesn't download the torrent. I don't know what else to do. Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffjon Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 G'day, I use uTorrent version 3.2.3.28705 and everytime I click the magnet icon it just opens my desktop folder and does nothing, before I updated to this current version I would click on the magnet icon and presto it would open in uTorrent and start downloading the torrent automatically. I have searched answers and posts in here with no luck, please help if you can.ThanksJon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciaobaby Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Start -> Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Associate a file type or protocol with a program -> select the appropriate extension(s) and use [Change Program...] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Or You could try the tools built in to uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatso Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm having problems very similar to the first poster. When I click on a magnet link, uTorrent launches, but the torrent isn't showing up in the list. I did F7 and checked all the lists ...it's not there. clicking the magnet link again produces a msg to the effect that the torrent is in list...do you want to update?DHT:348 nodesWin7-64bitMSEI usually have PeerBlock running... but I turned it off(no help) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 So you checked under labels -> hidden then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatso Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 No i didn't.... and there it is!Thank you.Do you know why it would be there, and why it didn't ask me where to save the files? (It usually does)Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Because the metadata has not loaded so the client knows nothing about the torrent other than the hashsum ID and the trackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endel3 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Okay, I tried and tried, but still can't get it working....I'm not sure what you mean by "labels -> hidden"..I assume it's repopulating the download locationsetc., and I've done that, but still when I try to download a torrent, utorrent opens and tells me the torrent is already on the list but it isn't.....arrgghh---help...Never mind....i think it was a bad torrent...
