Woes using Konquerer to open torrents from net with Azureus
Hi all, Im not sure if this is the right section for this thread. Sorry if not.
Ok my problem is this: Im using Konqueror as my default browser and therefore use it to get torrents. Traditionally (windows) I used to just click "download torrent" and open with Azureus and it would load up the only instance of AZ that was running.
However when I try that now, I receive the following in AZ:
'/var/tmp/kdecache-rapachooie/krun/TEMPFILETORRENTNAME.torrent' could not be opened:
Not a File
of course TEMPFILETORRENTNAME is not there, instead it is the torrent files name.
Now there are a few things here that throw me... Firstly, this does not happen if AZ is not open when I open it. If AZ is closed down and i click download torrent and open with AZ, it opens and runs fine as it should. If it is open however, it seems to run a second instance of AZ (second AZ panel appears on the taskbar), then eventually goes back to 1. What I think is happening is that the temporary cache file of the torrent is being deleted when it closes/switches the second instance of AZ and tries to open it with the first one.
Does anybody have some ideas on this?
A few things to note:
1) Im running Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy.
2) I installed AZ by downloading from the Azureus page, extracting the tar.bz2 file and altering the "azureus" script to the program path (did not need to change anything in the java directory section). I did download it originally from the repository but it gave me grief (no system tray icon, couldnt select files to download, couldnt upgrade plugins, and eventually shutdown immediately on open). I read a post somewhere of someone recommending download directly because of same issues.
3) I have ammended /etc/mailcap to include the following line:
application/x-bittorrent; /home/rapachooie/azureus/azureus "%s"
(I found elsewhere that it was required to fix my problem, but it has not, it just gave me access to "open with azureus" in Konqueror"
and finally 4) If I do the EXACT same download procedure with firefox, it works FINE. I would use it all the time but Im usually on Konqueror I was just hoping there was an easy fix.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! Also, Im sorry if this has been a common problem and many posts etc elsewhere on the site but I couldnt find them.
Cheers
