Hi guys,
I just installed the new XP Service Pack 2 RC1 and it
messed with how Internet Explorer handles Bit Torrent
files. For those of you who don't have it, Bit Torrent is
a combination file sharing program and download manager.
Files are posted on websites with a .torrent extention,
which I assume amount to instructions for the Bit Torrent
download app. When clicked, the files used to download
and run, causing the download app to run, but now that I
installed SP2, IE attempts to open the file and display
it as if it were opened in Notepad, displaying a bunch of
text and gibberish. Funny thing is, if I choose to save
the .torrent file on my Desktop and double click it
there, the program runs normally. Does anybody know if
there is anything I can do to stop IE from trying to
display the files code and have it just run the stuff
normally? Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Chris L.
