I am trying to download Martin Smith\'s Magic Kingdom Parades tribute uploaded by Joevn but when i click the download icon it asks if I want to save it. there is not an option to \"open\" it via utorrent. It will save it as a 1kb file called\"download\". This only happens when I try to down load a file from Joevn. Not sure the reason, or maybe I am doing something incorrectly. But I have no toher problem downloading. Maybe Joevn is trying to tell me something? Only kidding.:lol: I am quite technically challenged.
 
Hmm...that\'s odd. Especially since that particular torrent was made with uTorrent (1.6, Standalone version). My earlier ones were made with BitTorrent. When getting a new file, I actually download the torrent file and then drag it into uTorrent and then it will ask where to save it and then start downloading. So my suggestion is to try using uTorrent to open the file that is downloaded either by dragging it into the program or using \"File\" then \"Add Torrent\"

it\'s downloading as download.torrent because of the \"\'\" in the title this tracker software has a problem with \' in titles (torrent and forum titles)
 
I\'ve had this problem with roughly half of the torrents I\'ve downloaded from here (and never elsewhere). It\'s easy enough to fix... like explained above.
If nothing else, just save the file and tell your computer to open it with your torrent software.
