For the purposes of this article, you'll use qBitTorrent to open your torrent files. This is because qBitTorrent isn't ad-supported and thus will not spam you while you download your torrent's files. Open the qBitTorrent website.
Select a download link. Depending on your operating system, click one of the following options: Windows — Click bit installer to the right of the "Mirror link" heading in the Windows section. If your computer uses a bit operating system, click the bit installer link there instead. You can check your computer's bit number if you're unclear on the correct option here. Wait for the setup file to download.
You'll have to wait five seconds after the download page finishes loading before the setup file will download. Depending on your browser's settings, you may have to click Save File or select a save location before the file will download. Double-click the downloaded setup file. Doing so will open the qBitTorrent setup window.
Install qBitTorrent. Depending on your computer's operating system, do the following: Windows — Click Yes when prompted, then follow the on-screen installation prompts. Mac — Drag the qBitTorrent app icon onto the "Applications" folder shortcut, then follow any on-screen instructions.
You may need to verify the download before qBitTorrent will install. Part 2. Open qBitTorrent. Click or double-click the qBitTorrent app icon, which resembles a white "qb" on a light-blue background. If qBitTorrent opens once the installation is complete, skip this step.
Click I Agree when prompted. This will close the prompt window and finish opening the qBitTorrent window. Click Tools. It's a tab at the top of the qBitTorrent window. A drop-down menu will appear. On a Mac, click the qBitTorrent menu item in the top-left corner of the screen to prompt a drop-down menu.
Click Options…. This is in the Tools drop-down menu. The Options window will open. On a Mac, click Preferences Scroll down to the "File association" heading.

If this box is already checked, you're ready to find a torrent. Click OK. It's at the bottom of the window. Doing so saves your settings and closes the window.
Part 3. Search for your torrent online. Type in the name of the file you want to download followed by the word torrent e.
Select a site. In the list of search results, click a link that resembles your desired file name. Check the torrent's details. Once you're on the torrent's page, check the torrent's title and the "About" or "Details" section to ensure that you've selected the correct file. You'll usually find information about the torrent's language, file size, and more here. Look for a higher "Seed" number than "Leech" number. If a torrent has no seeds or only a few seeds and a large number of leeches or "peers" , you won't be able to download the torrent's files.
Even if there are a couple of seeds, you won't be able to download the file s at a reasonable speed. Read the torrent's comments or reviews. You'll usually find a "Reviews" or "Comments" section near the torrent's details. You can browse these comments to ensure that you aren't accidentally downloading a malicious file or using a broken torrent. Keep looking for your ideal torrent if necessary. Once you find the torrent you want to download, you can proceed with downloading it. Part 4. Understand what "opening" a torrent means.
Once you've downloaded a torrent file, you can open it in qBitTorrent in order to prompt the torrent's files to download; however, you cannot "open" a torrent to view its contents in a traditional sense. Find the torrent's "Download" button. The "Download" button will vary depending on the website you're using to download your torrent, so look for a button below or next to the torrent that says Download or has a downward-facing arrow to the right of it.
The torrent will begin downloading onto your computer. In some cases, you'll just click the torrent's name or click the. Guy said on October 21, at pm.

About gHacks Ghacks is a technology news blog that was founded in by Martin Brinkmann. The line "Remember choice and do not show dialog again" is grayed out and can't be checked as well. Opera, unlike other browsers, can be configured to have custom download locations for every file type.
Update : Newer versions of the Opera web browser pre-Opera 15 though use a different layout. Select Downloads from the left menu, uncheck "Hide File Types opened with Opera" and double-click on the file type that you want to customize or select it and click on the edit button instead.
To make this easier you can sort by file extension or use the quick find option at the top to find the file extension this way.
You will notice that the "Show Download Dialog" option is the default action for most file types. To change that you simply check the boxes "Save to disk" and "Do not ask for folder, but save directly to".
Click on Choose afterwards to select a location where files of this type should be automatically saved to from now on. Click ok to save the new settings. Opera will save files of the selected type automatically to the download directory without displaying a dialog first. You can use the configuration instead to configure file extensions to automatically open in a select application which can also be useful at times. Update 2 : Opera 15 or newer will download all files automatically regardless of type.
You can set a different download location in the browser's preferences though. To do that, click on the Opera button and select Settings. Scroll down until the downloads section is displayed to you.
Here you can change the default download location. If you want more control over downloads, enable the "ask where to save each file before downloading" option to do just that. Thanks for the tip.
