    Text Document...

    Ok, I'm currently usin' Azureus as my BT Client. Tha prob. i'm havin' is when I right-click & save file as It wants to save it as a text document. What's weird is it only seems to happen on games for sum reason, anybody know how I can go about fixin' this problem ? This is tha reason I switched to this prog cuz tha same thing started happenin' wit BT++ & PTC.

    When you save it, just add .torrent to the end of the name..it will work..I have done this a few times without any problems.

    Just right click on the text document and choose "open with"...

    You should be able to choose bittorrent.

    I was getting that too

    So, as a workaround, I was just saving it to disk, then renaming it, minus the .txt extension, then double-clicking it to open with a BitTorrent client. The .txt extension isn't replacing the .torrent extension, it's appended to it, like: filename.torrent.txt. I'm sure appending .torrent to THAT (filename.torrent.txt.torrent) would work, but it was just as easy for me to remove the .txt extension. ;)
