Hello,
Hopefully one of the mods can help with this problem. For some reason when I try to download a show it doesn't give me the option to save as FLAC. It is just giving me the option to save or open the show as a php attachment. Obviously I have downloaded many times from the site and can't understand why this is now happening?

Thanks in advance.

Itīs a torrent, you need uTorrent or others progs to use this

Thanks for your reply.

I understand it's a torrent. I have Vuze Bittorrent installed. I'm not having any issues with downloading FLACs from other sites. These default to save as FLAC from these sites, but Tradersden is defaulting to save as Php files?

Something's wrong with the download. When you want to download something, you click on the *.torrent file, don't you? This will be accepted and processed by your torrent program, and what you will download are the corresponding uploaded files, whether FLAC or whatever.

I understand what you are saying and know that it should automatically open my torrent client for downloading as FLAC files. The problem is that when I click on the torrent it is trying to download as a Php file. I don't know why it has started doing this... I have downloaded plenty of material over the years without any issues.

Within your program or before it is assigned to the program, because then the file assignment might not be correct.

I can't see how to change this. I click on the torrent and get to see the following:

Do you want to open or save attachment php. from the tradersden.org?

I would expect to see Do you want to open or save 'file name'. For example: Blondie 80-01-12 Hammersmith Odeon.torrent
