Opera won't open local torrent file

I have no difficult with Opera opening up and running torrent files when downloaded over the Internet.

However, when I use Opera to open up a .torrent file already stored on my harddrive, Opera does pop up the Bittorrent download window and asks if I want to run it, but clicking on "yes" does nothing. I do not see the torrent listed in the Downloads tab.

What do I do to run .torrent files already on my harddrive?

Thanks!

Btw, I'm running Opera 10.53 in Windows XP.

I'm confused by the torrents, too. If I ask Opera to handle them, all is well until I actually try to find the file being "downloaded", and there is also no way I can see to monitor the actual download or control it, even if it did start to download. Obviously I'm doing something wrong.
