Impossible to open a torrent file or a magnet link
#1
Hi everyone,

Just bought this new computer 2 days ago.
Windows 10, I installed utorrent web same as I was using on my mac before.

But since yesterday I'm trying to get some torrent from TPB (magnet link) and YGGtorrent (torrent file),
when I click on the magnet link the little window in utorrent launch, click ok and nothing happen.
Even weirder, I downloaded a torrent file, double click on it but nothing happen..

Of course I uninstall a few times utorrent (with ccleaner + reboot), installed bittorrent.
Nothing.

If anyone know what's happening, please help me.

Cheers

`What browser do you use? Chrome used to do that cause of the obvious reason. You had to get into the settings to order it to recognize magnet and torrent files.

Oh yeah forgot that, no I'm using Firefox.

Try installing qBittorrent.

It *should* associate with magnet links, and Firefox *should* recognize them.
Else qoogle 'firefox magnet links' and there ought to be instructions on the steps to manually use about:config to make it work.

same problem here, with Chrome, seems to be since an update this spring
Chrome becomes more and more an evil browser!

anyway, any solutions? I changed handler settings and reset flags to defaut, NO changes so far, nothing happens when clicking on magnet links
