Downloading torrents with Firefox
I'm having trouble downloading torrents from this site specifically for some reason now. I am using Firefox version 2.0.0.3. It had worked previously and to my knowledge I've done nothing to impair this. What happens is when I click on the .torrent link it opens the page in a new tab and displays the save dialog; yet the "OK" button is greyed out and so I cannot save. I am wondering if this is somehow due to the redirection. Any ideas?

Re: Downloading torrents with Firefox
Oh, well I guess it isn't just me then. The double clicking suggestion worked, but it's pretty dumb that you need to do that in the first place. I knew I should've stuck with Opera! :argh:

Re: Downloading torrents with Firefox
Happens to me sometimes too. I click the select program from the list and browse to my torrent client. I bet you could clear the history of program associations and redo it and it would work. I haven't had the time to play around with it so I browse each time.....

Re: Downloading torrents with Firefox
I've had that happen forever, too. I re-did the file associations once but it didn't help. I tried a few different trackers just for fun:
Opens straight in utorrent: DAD OneMoreSolo etree PureLiveGigs Open with... greyed OK: Zomb Tapecity JamToThis Opens in (temporary) new tab, greyed OK: TTD Using XP SP2, FF 2.0.0.3 and uTorrent 1.6 build 474.

Re: Downloading torrents with Firefox
I just downloaded a torrent from here and the OK wasn't greyed out. So, this appears to be intermittent.
