Default App for Downloading torrent files

George

You say a right click produces 'Open in New Tab' . . . are you right clicking the magnet file on a page in your web browser?

You need to download the torrent file to the downloads folder on your PC

Then right click the torrent file on your PC and follow the steps above

You are correct uTorrent or BitTorrent will not show up in the list of Default Apps because that is not really installed on your PC like a conventional App, it is simply copied to the folder I listed above when you install it

 

Torrent list reload


Hello,

I lost all my torrent download list on the Bittorrent torrent client because i had to format Windows. Is it a way to reload
the download list (batch) or store it so i can recover it before Windows become faulty?

 

Unable to download torrents using any torrent client on Windows 10

I've a Windows 10 laptop connected to the internet via the router. Everything works perfectly fine except I'm unable to download any torrent from any tracker using any torrent client.

1. I'm sure the torrent protocol or any of the trackers aren't blocked at ISP or router level because I'm able to download torrents using my desktop which is behind the same router.
   
2. I've tried disabling the Windows Firewall.
   
3. I've no anti-virus or any other firewall installed which could be blocking the connection.
   

Any help would be appreciated.
