Problem with uTorrent/downloading torrents
-
Tried it with 3 different sites, when I click to save the torrent, it says Done, and the torrent file is saved in My Documents, which is where I like to save my downloads with Firefox, hotfile, etc.
If I click on that file, it opens the Dialog Box in uTorrent that shows what I'm going to download and the options (ie, if there are multiple files, I can choose which to grab).
Why this unnecessary step has started is beyond me. It used to be, the Dialog Box opened automatically without this extra step. I reinstalled uTorrent completely, checked options within uTorrent and nothing works.

You mean you don't want µtorrent to open the dialogue box for you to choose which files to download, correct ?
If so, there is an option the Preferences under the Downloads tab which says "Show a window that displays the files inside the torrent" - uncheck that so that the torrent goes directly into the list.
Or did you mean you want the torrent to start directly in µtorrent without being saved in My Documents ?
In this case, when you click the torrent to download choose the option "Open with" in Firefox when it prompts you on whether you want to save or open.

Do you use a "download accelerator" program or your browser's download function?
In my browser (Opera 10.61) I can configure to save downloaded torrent files directly to a folder on my LAN - a folder which is "observed" by uTorrent automatically. This way I can download torrent files, click on save in Opera's open/save dialog and the rest is done automatically by uTorrent (on another computer in my LAN). Chalk it on my laziness that I selected this solution - it works OK for me for 99,… % of all my torrent downloads. It is a rare case when I have to work "manually" for a torrent download
