Newbie - What command to launch .torrent by double-click

[kklingerman]

Hi,

I'm a newbie to Linux. I'm trying to instruct Ubuntu on how to launch a new torrent either by double-click or directly from Firefox. In the properties of an existing .torrent file, I am trying to input a command that will open the .torrent in Deluge-Torrent and add it. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch.

right-click on a torrent file, click on properties, click on the "open with" tab, click on "add", click on "use custom command", insert /usr/bin/deluge and click add.

I tired this as directed and it says: Could not find application. The launcher for Deluge says "Deluge-Torrent". Any ideas? Tanks.

You might try this:

Open a terminal (command prompt), and type the command:

Code: Select all

which deluge

This command will output the location of the deluge program on your system, which is usually /usr/bin/deluge, but might also be /usr/local/bin/deluge, for example. Use the output of this command as the custom command for both a double-click, and for firefox.

Hope this helps!
