Switching default app (bit torrent to transmission)

[adamogardner]

oK WHEN i DOWNLOAD A TORRENT, I USE BIT TORRENT BY DEFAULT. I WANT TO SWITCH TO TRANSMISSION. THE DIALOG WINDOW ASKS IF I WANT TO USE ANOTHER APPLICATION BUT I CAN'T FIND IT IN MY FILE SYSTEM. KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

HAPPY CAPSLOCK DAY

I'm not on my Ubuntu machine right now, and I use Deluge, but I think Transmission is the default. Have you changed it? What version of Ubuntu?

dOWNLOAD A TORRENT FILE TO YOUR DESKTOP, RIGHT CLICK IT, SELECT "pROPERTIES". fIND THE "oPEN wITH" TAB AND SELECT tRANSMISSION. :)

hAPPY cAPSLOCK DAY INDEED.

I have hardy. and no transmission doesn't seem to be my default. It just says "open with bit torrent?" which I also have in my apps menu with transmission.

I can't select transmission in that dialog box because I have to search for the file. can't find it. ?

how do you normally start transmission?

well, funny you should ask. I don't start transmission. sure I clicked on it from the apps menu but I don't download a torrent until I click on one. then I'm doomed to use 'bit torrent'
