Default program for downloading torrents changed, can't download

Question

I was having no trouble downloading torrents with the default program in Ubuntu 14.10, Transmissions, but then I changed something, don't ask me what, and now it defaults to Videos, which of course will not download torrents. How do I change it back? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You simply need to change the default program. It's pretty simple.

First, right-click the .torrent file. It'll bring up a menu like this:

Select Properties (circled by orange here)

Next, select the Open With tab in the window that opens up:

Your window may look slightly different than mine. If you don't see Transmission in the Suggested Applications section, just scroll down until you find it.

Then, click on Set as default.

You should now be able to open the .torrent file in Transmission!
