Re: Invalid torrent file error troubles

^^^ this may be it... more specifically, you may need to reset your file association for the .torrent extension. it works a bit differently in IE8.


in the internet options panel, click the "programs" tab.
in the programs tab, select the link that says "Associate a file type or protocol with a program"
loading...
scoll down to the entry for ".torrent"
see if it is properly associated with uTorrent.
If it isn't, or even if it is, double click it, then choose "BROWSE" and browse to choose the app again.
The likely path to the program is "C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" unless you have Vista 64 bit, then it will be "C:\Program Files (x86)\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe"
Once you get that set:
1) close all IE windows
2) remove the old torrents from uTorrent
3) open IE8, come get a new torrent file.

Do NOT save the torrent, just click it and choose OPEN. uTorrent should open it, ask for the save location, etc...
If you get the error again after that, please take a screenshot of the error and post it here so we can get a better idea of what is happening.
