Opera hijacking torrents

WillieDH · 2007-01-28 19:08:45

Hi All I upgraded a while ago to Opera 9.1 and it made itself as the default client for torrents. I previously used BitLord, so now what i have to do is let Opera start the torrent and then cancel it, open bitlord and open the torrent manually. I tried File Associations but to no avail, Any advice thanks W

while you're at it, remove bitlord, it's full of spyware and whatnot, use utorrent or azureus

Well done aidan_walsh

The user needed an answer to a question (and that's all they wanted)

You provided it with a one line link which included a precise and detailed answer.

A lot of others should take a leaf out of your book aidan, "Well done"

What's wrong with letting opera download the torrent?
