Automating Torrents

[SOLVED]Automating Torrents

I use Mozilla Firefox 3.6 as my browser and IDM as my Download Manager. I download torrents through uTorrent.

Problem : What I want is that whenever I download torrents they should directly open up in uTorrent and not go through IDM and that I have to download the torrent separately and then open it up with uTorrent.

Things I have tried : 1> Installing Flashgot and fiddling around
2> Trying to search for the place in IDM option that it by passes *.torrent files so that I can directly configure this in Firefox.

Clients like Transmission and uTorrent have a feature called "Watch" folder, where they can monitor a folder for new torrents and start downloading it immediately. Just have IDM download the files to the watch folder.

EDIT: Looks like I misunderstood your questions. Ignore

You could try this: Open Firefox >> Tools >> Options >> Applications tab >> See if there is an entry for torrent file types. If there is one, you can change the default action in the same window.

Nope not there.

You could disallow IDM from downloading torrents at all. You can associate/disassociate filetypes in IDM Options -> General. Or when you're downloading torrent files, just press control when you click on the torrent link which will bypass IDM. I prefer using the watch folder method too, it is quite convenient.

Thanks but I found a work around. I just need to alt+shift and click to directly start utorrent with the torrent loaded into it.

This is what I did

1>Remove firefox integration in firefox.

2>Goto any torrent site download a torrent when the firefox window comes up chose the option do this automatically with the filetype and chose uTorrent as the program

3> Install flashgot configure IDM as default manager.

4> Make downloads autostart on IDM but and make alt+shift+click as your Flashgot bybass.

And, done.
