Hi Guys, since upgrading to IE9 , i`m having trouble when downloading torrents, when i try to download a particular file a long box appears at the bottom of the page asking me..........Do you want to save "particular torrent.. blah blah blah""" save, cancel ??? ..It normally goes straight to uTorrent and downloads, any ideas whats wrong

no `open` option.... just save, cancel :(

There's a dropdown box that says open I should ave said !

Drop down box says ...`save` and `save as` but `save and open` is faded and wont let me click

am I a retard? :)

just goin for my tea, back laterz, cheers Lee

usualy the dialog at the bottom says along the lines of :

 

Do you want to open or save "torrent name" from "website name" ?

 

then theres three buttons - Open, Save (which has a drop down with other options), cancel

Ok,

 

By the screenshot I'm guessing that the file your downloading isn't a torrent file so that's why it's not letting you directly open it !

 

And by a torrent file I mean it's ext or last characters after the dot aren't .torrent.

 

If you trust the site your getting the files from then simply save to desktop then rename and add the .torrent part and open them.

Cheerz Lee, its doing my head in!!, it never used to do that until I added IE9? I`ve done what you said and its now saying... unable to load "bahblah.torrent is not valid bencoding!.... WTF!!!!?? lol

 

cant i back grade to ie8?

I doubt its to do with ie9 and more likely to do with the file you think is a torrent actually isn't one !

hell....ya :lol:

 

 

lol!!

Ok, thanks for your help Lee, seems strange though as its only since i downloaded ie9, its not just one particular file, its any file I try and download from Revtt?

Update.... I`ve just installed Google chrome and its all working fine now, thanks for your help Lee :)

i was going to say that chrome is the way forward! and if you wanted to send me the link icould have a look for you, but no all good if your sorted!
