Deluge Forum

Hi all,

Got this weird annoyance with FIrefox not opening Deluge automatically on some sites. It only works properly on TPB, other sites FF pops up a box that says, 'you have chosen to open...', with the option to open with deluge, or save file.

I already checked Edit>Preferences>Applications, and checked Bittorent Seed File = Use Deluge Bittorent Client (default).

FF works with all my other default Application settings, but Deluge will only be automatically opened by FF when I click on a TPB download link. If I click any other download link on any other torrent site I get the popup box. Then select 'Open with Deluge', tick - 'Do this automatically for files like this from now on.'

So, any one else experience or know of a fix. I am using Ubunt Karmic Koala, and FF 3.5.6.

Thanks,
brook

Got some help on Ubuntu forums and have a workaround for this.

I missed the setting. Preferencec>Downloade>Auto add .torrents from "folder-name". I set this up in Deluge and then set up FF Preferences>Applications to 'save file' for .torrent files instead of open Deluge, and "voila!", Deluge automatically starts them up when I click on .torrent and DL it to my 'Downloads' folder.
Sweet!

Now it probably won't work if Deluge is not started but I haven't tested that yet. No more popup box from FF asking me what to do any longer though.

Cheers,
brook
