How do I make Deluge the default client?

Post by Cliff »

Hello,
After upgrading to 0.5.7.1 Deluge now doesn't automatically pick up the torrent files as the default program. Bit Torrent does.
I've only been using Linux for 2 months so I'm unsure how to set the preference to be Deluge, not Bit Torrent.
Great program and a real workhorse.
Would be grateful for any advice.

right-click on a torrent file, click on properties, click on the "open with" tab. is deluge listed there? if so, select it to be your default. if not, click on "add", click on "use custom command", insert /usr/bin/deluge and click add.
