Lazarus 0 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 need a bit more info - do you use firefox? is it the actual torrent file that saves to your desktop or the actual file that youve downloaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper cluttering up me fucking desktop. ok - so when you click on the torrent file you should get a little window that opens and gives you the option of either opening the torrent file with your client or downloading the torrent file to a specified location. it sounds like the firefox download manager is automatically doing the latter to me.

Hatful Of Hollow 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) This happens to me whenever I try to download .exe files, the option to open the file is greyed out. Edited November 20, 2006 by Hatful Of Hollow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4ever 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Firefox won't let you directly open .exe files, it's a security feature. Jonny, go into Tools, options, downloads, View & Edit actions and change the .torrent action to open with Azureus or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, whats a seed compared to a peer? seeds are the number of people who are offering the complete file for download, peers (or sometimes called leechers) are the number that are downloading it. So you need to find a file with a higher ratio of seeds to peers for a faster download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikko 20 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 114 seeds connected to tracker, 0 connected to you. Give it some time and you'll get connected to some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
