A great little torrent app
Tuesday, October 11, 2005 5:32:51 PM
I recently discovered utorrent. A great little app which has now become my primary tool for downloading torrents. Something like this should be integrated into Opera. It is light, quick and gives me what I need to do the job. I would like to see an IPFilter integrated into it. But...
The last 3 or so versions have had new icons. So I thought I would take a stab at one. I designed this. I sent it off. Maybe if I am luck Ludde will use it.
I did have a funny thing happen with Opera and torrents. When I clicked on a link to download a torrent would get the 'Download file" dialog box. It was set to Azureus but I changed it to open utorrent. Easy enough. I then checked "Pass web address directly to application". After that I got some funny results. When clicking a torrent link it would open in utorrent and Azureus. so i unchecked "Pass web address directly to application" and now everything works fine.
This sounds like a bug in Opera. I also noticed that when i click the radio button net to "Open with default application" this remains grayed out and stuck on Azureus. It seems that the two applications opening the same torrent is linked it this problem. Opera must still see Azureus as the default application but is also linking to utorrent. I have utorrent set in "open with other application" because "Open with default application" wont let me make changes.

turns out some people at teh utorrent site have added a thread to the forum that is for logo/icon design for utorrent.
