Error starting more than one download from Firefox

The error box says that there was an unknown error that occurred and to try saving the torrent file manually and loading. Looks like the problem is after Firefox downloads the torrent file it errors on the pass to Ktorrent. This is only after you have passed one torrent already. I don't have this issue with Azureus.

Other than this one issue, Ktorrent works great. Much lighter than Azureus and I'd prefer to run it over Azureus.

Thanks,
Jason

if you close firefox before ktorrent has grabbed the file you'll get errors, but other than that there shouldn't be any issues. You sure your not closing firefox too fast?

I'm not closeing Firefox. An easy workaround is to open the torrent file Firefox downloaded in the /tmp directory from within Ktorrent. I'll try running Firefox and Ktorrent later from the command line and see if either says anything.

I just tried it here with the lastest code from SVN and can open 2 torrents without a problem from firefox. What version are you using ?

Version 2.02. I downloaded the source code, but was missing a library I haven't gotten around to installing, so I couldn't get past ./configure. I've got an AMD64 system with 64 bit install of Opensuse 10.1, so sometimes compiling my own solves issues. My Firefox is 32 bit, could be part of the problem??? Pretty sure I installed a 64 bit version of Ktorrent with SMART.

I run 32bit firefox and 64bit ktorrent on gentoo, and it works flawlessly.

Whether one is 32bit/64bit shouldn't make any difference at all, all firefox does is run "ktorrent /tmp/<torrent name.torrent>", and then remove all of them when it shuts down.

I ran both from the command line, and nothing was displayed in either session. I tried adding extra torrents from the command line to ktorrent, and it took them just fine. Must be something in the way Firefox is passing them. Oh, in the download manager of Firefox it is saying the downloads failed, but they didn't fail and are in /tmp. Maybe this is a Firefox issue.

This looks like a firefox issue

if suse installs a mime handler for torrent files that could be the problem (instead of you chosing open with and then selecting ktorrent)
