How to make Vuze default client on Ubuntu 10.04

**peakshysteria** · May 6th, 2010

I've done this ages ago. But this time I did a clean install of the new Ubuntu version. Can anyone tell me how to make Vuze default Bittorrent client? Every torrent I now download opens Transmission. I use Firefox as default browser. How can I set the default torrent client there?

Download any .torrent file. Right click it and open 'Properties'. Then 'Opens with'. Select Vuze.

I know that.But I can't seem to find where Vuze is? Can you please tell me where I can find the app file? I thought maybe I should point firefox to /usr/bin/vuze. But there is no such file!?

Remove Transmission and leave one torrent client in your system and that'll solve your problem.

I always remove transmission from the OS and install Deluge. After doing that deluge becomes the default torrent handler for the system.

Uninstalling Transmission and downloading the Vuze .deb (Azureus 4.4.0.2-1) worked like you said. Thanks man. But there seem to be something wrong. When I check the version it ahows: Vuze 4.3.0.6!!?? How can I update to 4.4.0.2??
