Azureus 3.0.3.4 Questions and Problems

Did you ever say what version of IE you are running? There is probably an "About IE" or something like that under one of the tabs on the top of your browser.

Version 7. I just don't know where to go to change it to attachment.php.

It's doing the same thing with utorrent.

Where would I go to change downloadtor.php to attachment.php?

Would that be somewhere in the download client or in Explorer?

Thanks for all your help.

1. I would left click on the link.
2. Choose open file in the add download screen.
3. Hit ok and a 30 second launch would appear. I could either wait the 30 seconds or launch it earlier.
4. Then a Azureus pop up would appear and tell me my file was now downloading.
5. It would appear on my Azureus dashboard and in my designated desktop file.

Now I get nothing after step 2 that is similar to before. I have seen a screen that says " Could not open'attachment.php'. It doesn't appear to be a .torrent file"

something (a toolbar or software pop up blocker) is preventing you from receiving the .torrent file.

attachment.php is the window that opens, then offers you the .torrent file.
please try this..

goto torrent page>
RIGHT CLICK on the torrent and select the 'Open In New Window' option
you should then have a new window that offers the .torrent file.
when offered the .torrent file - select Open.

all should be well.

This is what just happened.

This is the first thing that comes up when I follow your steps .

this window should automatically open in Internet Explorer!
are asking Azureus to open it?

[door71]

I have utorrent on here now. I am asking utorrent to open it.

[door71]

This is what is going on this morning.

[direwolf-pgh]

id swear your just messin with me..
but if not try this:

Open Internet Explorer>
select Tools from the top menu > select Internet Options>
Select the Advanced Tab>
Select RESET (this button will reset your browser to default settings)

then
Select the Privacy Tab>
uncheck Pop Up Blocker

close window - close IE 7 - hell, reboot if you wish.

then go back to that Doors torrent screen
and Left (regular) click on the torrent link.

an IE window (file download) should appear asking you what to do with the torrent file.
Select Open.
Utorrent should then launch and downloading should begin.

good luck

I'm not messing around with you Wolf. Believe me.

I'm not proficient enough to be coming up with all this bullshit on my own.

Let me try your last suggestion........I have rebooted..............looked at the utorrent help info...etc.......cussed.

man I'm at a loss. something is very weird. just for kicks if you are willing try downloading firefox. It works just like IE and is free.

that is a very non-technical guess.... Just throwing that out there.


Do you have the same problems at other torrent sites? or opening links in general?

After I fucked around and crashed the PC and had my wife reformat it just now..................the fucking thing works now.

We were already thinking about starting over so we moved everything to the secondary drive earlier this week. So we didn't loose anything.

We didn't have problems opening any links at all. I just download from TTD. It's fixed now.
