I like using limewire for downloading music but when it comes to download movies, I prefer Bittorent.
When I click on the link to download the torrent, limewire is taking directly that file and download it. How can I change that and make Bittorent my 1st dowloader ?

Its not what I am looking for. I just tried that and it's not what I want. Let me explain...when I go to default programs and click on let's say ''AVI'' which is often a file for a movie, it's associated with Media Player program which is fine because after the movie is downloaded, I can play my movie via Media Player. But what I am asking is when a click on a new shortcut for downloading a movie, how can I change the program that will download it. Now it's going automaticly in Limewire and I want to change it for Bittorent.
I hope that will help you so I hope we can work this out ![]() Waiting for your answer |

Like I said, I don't have vista so I can't try this out first.
Try this: Go to Control Panel and launch the Default Programs tool, then click the link for "Associate a file type or protocol with a program". After you scroll and select a file type, click Change Program. In the Open With dialog, the recommended programs will be listed above the line and "other" programs below. This may initially be empty. But before you click Browse, try clicking the down caret button and it will populate with other programs that might include the one you're looking for. If you can get that far, look for "TORR" under file types and change it from limewire to bittorrent. Hope this helps.
