Why can't I download a torrent into Azureus? - Torrents using LimeWire - A FIX !
 

Was wondering if anyone can help me...I've run out of ideas. Today I went to download a torrent from torrentspy.com and it wanted to use limewire to download it (I normally use Azureus which I'm happy with). I have since uninstalled Limewire and it still insists on downloading any torrent I try to as a Limewire torrent.....Any ideas???

Thank you.

All you would have had to do is change the settings in Limewire.
So How did you uninstall Limewire??

if using Windows

Download a torrentfile to your desktop. right-click and choose

"open with"-->Choose program

select Azureus and check the box that says "Always use..." then press OK

I just went to Start, the programs and then uninstall. I basically don't have limewire anymore and it STILL thinks it's a limewire torrent. I'm confused.............

YEY...............i've done it. thanks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for your help.

I'm having the same problem. According to Remoc, how would you change the settings in order for it to work?

In Limewire go to Tools > Options > BitTorrent. Now Uncheck box..Start Auto...Click Apply and OK

If you have'nt set up your Default BitTorrent Client, then Follow Sleepless' Instructions

Thanks, Remoc. :idea:

thank you for the advice. that was frustrating. i fixed it! :Smilywais:

Right on Bro :PEACE:

Also on this topic - because I had the same problem, and the above solution was not enough - here is another thing to do with Limewire to complete this process.

This may be because of later versions of Limewire that this is now necessary...

Go to Tools ---> Options--->Advanced---->File Associations. Once there, uncheck "Use Limewire for: .torrent files"

Putting together both the above suggestion, and this one were successful for me. Hope this helps anyone out there. :xeri_ok1ani:
