Veritas 1 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yes, vista ultimate. Quote - (BlackEagle1984 @ Feb 15 2007, 17:34) Not sure if I am using an older version or not, but does this build fix the problem of windows vista not being able to set the program as default program for torrent files. I have to drag and drop each one into utorrent under vista and every time i start vista up utorrent asks if i want to make it my utorrent my default torrent program. I remember having that problem a while ago. Are you on Vista RTM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps89 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I think you just have to run utorrent as an administrator and associate it with .torrent files. After that, all .torrent files will be opened using utorrent. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close uTorrent if it's open and start the registry editor as admin. Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and create a new key called .torrent In the right pane right click on (Default) and select modify and type uTorrent Again in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT create a new key called uTorrent. Right click that key and create 2 more keys called DefaultIcon and Shell. Right click the Shell key and create a new key called open and another key in the open key called command. In the DefaultIcon key modify the (default) to point to the path of uTorrent. C:\X\uTorrent.exe for example. In the command key modify the (default) to point to the path of uTorrent. C:\X\uTorrent.exe "%1" for example. Close the registry editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted February 15, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 15, 2007 Can anyone actually provide any proof regarding all this dodgy behaviour from uTorrent? If not then be quite, because as morca007 said they are unfounded. They've made it up basically (The whole thing stems from the main developer getting a jobl, the company he worked for used to be anti-p2p, the whole conspiracy theory started from that) If a company complying with the law makes them "evil" and "bad", then Google, MS, Apple, Sun, etc. are "evil" and "bad".

Copernic Reporter Posted February 19, 2007 Reporter Share Posted February 19, 2007 Ha,ha, tin foil hat! I think a lot of you forget the eDonkey story and how the eDonkey client was REMOTELY CLOSED by the owner after releasing a few builds with a backdoor inside. So having a tin foil hat is not good looking but sometimes it works, personally i stick with the old version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely one of your peers using the POP/SMTP ports to get around blockages on their side for torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
