Azureus file download problems....

choket · 2007-03-15 15:40:13

Hi there, im pretty new to torrents so im sorry if this is an easy problem to rectify- as i said, im pretty new to it all so bare with me...

Ok, so i have Azureus V 3.006 (the blue frog:P)

Anyway up in till this morning it was working fine, i would search for torrents, click download and I would get the blue frog popup telling me they had been added to my azureus downloads, and that was that. couldnt be made simpler for simpletions like me.

So today i found a file of interest and i clicked download, no frog. Now what i get is a popup box prompting me to save this torrent (which comes up as file unknown) to a directory. Basically i end up with a file which i dont know what the hell to do with...

I dont know why it has reverted to this instead of just adding instantly to my list.

Any help would be most appreciated ok.

thanks

You can try copying the URL that points to the torrent and, in azureus, select adding URL

i tried also, i add the URL, then it asks for a file name in which i browse for the torrent then add it. it says invalid.. i know this should usually work but it doesnt...

this is due to the server ...
if the server simply sends the file contents, then the browser opens it..
it can also force the download manager to pop-up...#

i am pretty sure teh second point applies here .. so no need to worry, it's nothign that has gone wrong.;)

Do this. After you download the file open Azureus then File->Open_>Torrent File when the menu pops up click Add Files browse to where you downloaded the file(probably on your desktop) and add it. Then click OK. btw /home/"username"/Desktop is where your desktop is
