brand Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hello, I just noticed that Vista is now handling all the Save Dialogs within Firefox, essentially disabling Firefox's own. Now I can't associate torrent files with utorrent. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt In Firefox, Goto Tools, Options, Content Tab, File Types - Manage Button, and goto .torrent and change it to what you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidiir Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 ...so what exactly is the problem? When you download a .torrent, can't you just change the program association? That way, if you changed it to utorrent, all .torrent files you download in the future will be associated (and open with) utorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 You could also try, Start>Default Programs, then "Associate a file type or protocol with a program", and change it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brand Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) It's only happening on btjunkie, not on the pirate bay. Explain that! On piratebay, for instance, it works. I click, it downloads, it opens (no extra interaction). isock86: it's listed and associated. sp3ctranova/evolution: this is also associated. Is anyone else having this problem?

Evolution Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 hmmm the only thing I can suggest is for you to constantly update through nightly builds until firefox fixes the issue :/ ...even if the issue is partly a websites fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brand Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) I think it must be the URL. ...:: Comparison ::... PirateBay: http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/3634012/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso.3634012.TPB.torrent BTJunkie: http://db2.btjunkie.org/torrent?do=download&id=3184ed8ab7fb3a4cd34e648e48a40f8fdd97a4f540d2.torrent that's ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso.3634012.TPB.torrent versus torrent?do=download&id=3184ed8ab7fb3a4cd34e648e48a40f8fdd97a4f540d2.torrent That's probably the "problem." This must be a redirector. hummm Can someone test this? Any Firefox coders out there? Thanks for all your help, Matt Edited March 7, 2007 by brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
