Has anyone had any problems using bittorent lately? I have been trying to download some torrents from suprnova.tk and when I click the link, instead of prompting for a place to save to, it automatically reverts to a fail state... Anyone have any suggestions?

I've used multiple mirrors for the site. I have used other torrent sites, and from my experience they all suck, and thats aside from the fact that this happens on all of their sites as well.

I even used 2 different bittorent programs, and had the same results...

Normally I get a message promting to save the file, then it begins the download. Now it just jump strait to the fail state.

you can't just click a torrent
99% of the time you have to right click the torrent and save as(save it to your hd)
then open it


edit:
also I get shadows client, seems to be the best all around client, it has nothing to do with your problem, I just like shadows client
