  2. wp torrent apps reinstall failed

    Hi maerta,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I did already the soft reset. Then from the apps store i cancelled the pending download for wp torrent apps. If this what you mean for removing from the download list? But never tried yet to download the other torrent apps.

    what are the other torrent apps? This is the just the same as wp torrent?

    How to change default torrent client on a whim?

    the program must have somewhere options-settings where you can disable the default usage of torrent files

    also when you open a torrent file you can select which program you want to handle it (right click on downloaded torrent file... open with... u select the desired client(if not there browse program file and point it)

    Default App for Downloading torrent files

    Downloading a torrent file, SAVING it is not possible in Win10


    I use torrents for legal things I don't like when downloading the torrent for it to open only apps but prefer Win 10 would SAVE the file until I can check it out. Win 7 had this ability; BUT WIN 10 SEEMS not to have that capability.


    After cleaning out ALL OF TORRENT apps from my SYSTEM, when a torrent link is clicked, it still brings up the window for me to choose: an APP and WILL NOT SAVE FILE like Win 7 gave us a choice.

    BUT in window 10 the only way I can see to disassociate it is with:"control panel/default programs/set association"
    Under "extensions" there is ".torrent" and current default is some app never heard of.

    But when you go to: CHANGE PROGRAM, it is all OTHER APPS TO CHOOSE FROM.
    NO place to delete the field, etc. No FILE EXPLORER to SAVE THE FILE

    ANYONE??
