thedanish Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hi!I have i problem. I just reinstalled utorrent and after i started to use this new version (1.8.4) it does not seem to recognize when i download torrents as exe files. The torrent downloads, but then i click it, it opens i textedit and when i try to open through utorrent, it shows in grey letters to indicate that i can't open this type of file. When i try doing the same on a PC it has no problems opening the exe file in utorrent and downloads fine.Any help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 .exe files are Windows executable binaries, why should a Mac OS application 'recognise' them???However; .... I WOULD suggest that you click the CORRECT link on the web document you think you are downloading metadata files from, because you ARE attempting to download [and actually downloading] a Windows malware installer that is also masquerading as a "file downloader".No legitimate 'torrent' download will EVER be an executable.

thedanish Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Wauw, thank you for the explanation!! I didn't know that, and as i actually works on the PC i never suspected that it was a malware!! I will be aware of this in the future and will find the correct file types... Thank you!!
