I’ve been using chrome as my main browser lately, and I’m also a torrent freak. But whenever I click to download a torrent, it asks me where I want to save the .torrent file. I’ve been just saving the .torrent files then uploading them into uTorrent, but I’m getting kind of sick of it. I’ve looked through all the options and preferences and all that jazz, but can anybody help me with this?

Well I use uTorrent with Firefox, and when I click the link to download a torrent, it gives me the option to open with a program of my choice. I always choose to, instead of saving the file, open it with uTorrent, and I’ve never had a problem.

I don’t know about the Chrome part…
but right click a torrent file and choose open with
in the dialoge box, navigate to uTorrent and look for something that says-always open this type of file with…or the like.

I do my best to avoid Windows at all costs, so I’m unsure about this
