Bittorent files are acting like http files

henman5000 · June 10th, 2004, 1:31 AM

When I click on a bittorent file on the site, the window that is used to download via http pops up. Does anyone know what setting i may have wrong. I do have a bittorent client by the way. Thanks

Sounds like .torrent files are not associated with your client. You can just save them to like your desktop, go into your client and then open them from there.

If you can edit your MIME types in your browser (and I guess you can), just associate "application/x-torrent" with your BitTorrent client. The short way : "Open link with", select client, check "Always open these files with this program". Problem solved.
