Early this Feb, I've already set Utorrent as BT/Magnet download tool. The only download tool.

Yesterday, I tried to use Xunlei to check ED2K sources. Unforturnately, Xunlei automatically reset itself as Firefox download tool.

I've already change Xunlei settings in order to stop it from showing up while connecting to Torrent/Maganect links. But after blocking Xunlei settings, when I connected to Torrent/Magnet links, Firefox always shows that sys do not know how to open this links. Sth like that. In Chinese, it shows, Firefox不知道如何打开此地址，因为协议(magnet)未和任何程序关联。

Please help to let me know how to reset UT as torrent/magnet download tool.

Thanks a lot~~~

Hi Se7enHell,

You should take a look at the Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files Knowledge Base article. It will show you how you can make uTorrent the default program for all torrent files.

Hopefully this helps!
