utorrent

[Richie]

Hey,
I got the new utorrent and nowany timei double click a torrent file it just starts downloading, the box requesting what i want to download from the folder doesn't appear. Why is this and how can I fix it?

[wixard]

you're pressing the wrong torrent button perhaps? on pirate bay it's the furthest right one

[N!ck]

Are you using magnet links from the pirate bay?

Go to Options > Preferences > UI Settings

Tick "Show a window that displays the files inside the torrent in advanced mode"

Perhaps it was a magnet link, can you not select individual files with magnet links?

You can't with magnet links as you have to wait for the torrent file to be downloaded first. The client doesn't know what files there are with a magnet link until it's got the torrent off someone.

ah alright cheers pal

just tried it again, even with regular torrent links it starts to download the whole folder when i only want one or two files.

That's not the magnet link's fault, that's the client's fault. If you wait a couple of minutes after adding the magnet link to your client, you should be able to untick files you don't want.

EDIT: Sorry, saw you're on about regular torrents :P
