That method in theory also works, although I knew not of the existence of this button, nor have I ever used it, so I cannot confirm that the theory and reality are one and the same.

This one came up as an idea to publish to everyone stemming from a question asked in the Helpdesk. For users running uTorrent, simply replace "BitTorrent" with "uTorrent", and the rest is the same.

The Question:

When I try to download any file, the system takes me to Windows Media Player instead of taking me to BitTorrent. What could I do?

My Answer:

Hello (username removed),

The answer to this question depends on which version of Windows you are running. I have included the instructions for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. This should help you with re-associating the .torrent extension with BitTorrent, rather than Windows Media Player. Please follow the one that is applicable to your operating system.

Windows XP
***** Click Start, then click My Computer
***** Press the "ALT" key on your keyboard to see (or highlight) the menus, then click "Tools", then "Folder Options…"
***** Click the "File Types" tab along the top of the pop up box (3rd tab in).
***** Click the listing for "Torrent", then to the right of where it says "Opens with:", click the "Change" button
***** Make sure the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked, then click "Browse".
***** Point the pop up window to the "BitTorrent.exe" file (In most cases, this file can be found in C:\Program Files\BitTorrent\BitTorrent.exe), then click the "Open" button.
***** Click "Ok" to save the setting for that window.
***** Click "Ok" to finalize the process.
***** Close the "My Computer" window and you're all set.

Windows Vista
***** Click the Start (or Window) button, then click "Control Panel".
***** Look near the top left corner of the window. If you see "Switch to Classic View", click it. If you see "Switch to Category View", leave it alone.
***** Click "Set Default Programs"
***** Click "Associate a file type or protocol with a program".
***** Select ".torrent", then click the "Change Program…" button.
***** Make sure that the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" box is checked, then click the "Browse" button.
***** Point the pop up window to the "BitTorrent.exe" file (In most cases, this file will be located in C:\Program Files\BitTorrent\BitTorrent.exe), then click the "Open" button.
***** Click "Ok" to finalize the change.
***** Close the Set Default Programs and Control Panel windows and you should be set to go.

Windows 7
***** Click the Start (or Window) button, then click "Control Panel".
***** In the top right corner of the window, you will see a drop down box. If this box is set to "Category View", change it to either "Large Icon View" or "Small Icon View".
***** Click "Default Programs"
***** Click "Associate a file type or protocol with a program".
***** Select ".torrent", then click the "Change Program…" button in the top right corner of the window.
***** Make sure the "Always use the selected program for this type of file" box is checked, then click the "Browse…" button in the bottom right corner of the window.
***** Point the pop up window to the "BitTorrent.exe" file on your computer (In most cases, this file is located in C:\Program Files\BitTorrent\BitTorrent.exe), then click the "Open" button.
***** Click "Ok" to confirm this change.
***** Close the window with the file types listed and you should be all set to go.

If you have further problems getting your torrent client properly configured, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best Regards

NICE!!

Nice add… I like it

@leatherbear:

Although I understand the reasons for someanger here I am going to ask that you guys take this to the PM stage here so that what ever needs to be said is between hornlevy and MrMazda and not the entire membership.

Precisely the reason why I have not posted such details or anything further on that topic in the forum thread. If any of the information that I have is to be made a public announcement, it is my opinion that it should be done so by the person whose life the details pertain to.

@ hornylevy: I can understand why you may get a little concerned with my stating that I have certain details on certain things, but I never claimed to have a full insight of every last little thing. In fact, it just so happens that I do not have a whole lot of detail. As these details have not been made public by you to my knowledge, I will not post such details in a public forum. Don't take that the wrong way though, this does not mean that would discuss such details elsewhere either, except in private with the people relevant to the information.

I see no problem with the whole subject at hand as so long as nobody is physically harmed by it.

@stealfire:

I'm not sure what you're attempting to say, but thanks for the support.

I think you inspired someone to come out of the Voyeurism closet

There's no such thing on any of the other language forums that I'm aware of. As for the whole topic of Voyeurism, just as you said, you can argue the same thing that in certain regions homosexuality is illegal. It all depends on the preferences of the viewer really, and so far there seems to be a sufficient demand for it.

Aussi, si vous avez encore des problèmes avec le process ou vous avez des questions, SVP énvoyer moi une méssage privée, ou écrire une réponse ici.

@leatherbear:


I agree

HOT!

Love 'em!

Keep 'em cummin They're ohhhh soooo goooood

@salas:

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!! he is a hot son of a bitch!! My boner wont go away… lol

Neither will mine

@Sugardeluxe:

If there's one thing I love – it's a man with red hair. There's only one thing I love more and it's a husky/thick man with red hair. Dane from "Straight Fraternity" mostly fits that bill. (His solo video is still in the torrent list BTW.)

HUBBA HUBBA!

It all boils down to whatever floats your boat in the end…

WOOF!!! HOT HOT HOT

WOOF!
