Torrent Link Issues
-
Hey all, trying to download torrents but when clicking the link, the link is saving in my downloads folder rather than asking to open with etc.
Any ideas how to fix as it's only started happening today.

It would likely help if you would let us know what operating system and browser you're using.

Most torrent client has similar preferences [options] ...
It might have been you incidentally set to start torrent automaticaly @ your download location preferences ...To fix and undo your default location:
-
point your mouse on top left of the Options and click preferences, click UI settings un-check don't start torrent automatically and hit apply then OK ....
-
try to load/add a new torrent, the small blank box below must remain un-check in order to add torrent in different location
you can set your desired location by clicking on the downward right small arrow or find a destination by clicking the three vertical small dots
-
also you can set your download location by clicking Directories and check your preferred location and hit apply and OK to save changes ... ...
Hope this helps !!!

@john32123666 : John, that only applies when you load the torrent file into your torrent client/app.
In reading scooterboi's comment, it looks to me as though the issue occurs when he clicks on a torrent file link here on the site, before it even reaches his app. He wants to, and used to be able to, have the browser or system ask him what he wants to do with the torrent file, at which point he could send it to his torrent app. Now, it just saves the torrent file to his downloads folder without asking.
