How do I set up my computer to be provided choices of bittorrents clients and location of the files before downloading torrents files?

Question

In other words, how may I be provided the option to choose different bittorrent clients installed on my computer, rather than the torrent files automatically being downloaded by only one client? With most torrents now, the files are automatically being downloaded to uTorrent, and without asking the location of where I wish the files to be downloaded.

Answer 1

To set up your computer to be provided choices of BitTorrent clients and file locations before downloading torrent files, you can do the following:

1. Right-click on a torrent file and select "Open With" or "Choose another app" (depending on your Windows version).
2. From the list of programs, choose the BitTorrent client you want to use or click on "More apps" to see additional options.
3. If the desired client is not listed, click on "Look for another app on this PC" to browse and select the .exe file of the desired client.
4. Check the box that says "Always use this app to open .torrent files" if you want to set it as the default client.

This way, you will be given a choice of BitTorrent clients and can also select the location where you want the files to be downloaded.
