Won't save anything!

[supersock]

I use the fire fox browser. I downloaded and installed FoxTorrent. I
went to Jamendo and selected an album to download. Jamendo asks if I
want to use BitTorrent or Emule. I select BitTorrent. FoxTorrent
then opens up. For just a split second, a window apears in the top
left corner then disapears again. Fox Torrent sits there doing
nothing. In the top right a see a meter that says:
Downloading: 0B/SEC
Sharing: 0B/SEC

Then after a few seconds, a message pops up and says: You Have no
Downloads.

I can't get it to save anything. I went through and turned off every
security feature I could think of.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Do the example downloads on http://foxtorrent.com/exampledownloads
work?

i had the same problem.

it's due to the software that runs with fox torrent, called
RedSwoosh. What worked for me was CTRL-ALT-DEL to get to the task
manager, and terminate the RedSwoosh process. This should reset
foxtorrent to work properly with firefox next time you open the
browser.

hope this helps

Thanks Jeb, hopefully that solves supersock's problem as well.

I started using FoxTorrent but with me it freezes during downloading,
I stopped RedSwoosh, but now the program says it cannot download
because RedSwoosh is not activ.
I like this add-on in Firefox but somehow it doesnot work properly.

I'm having the same trouble.
I'm trying to download Project Gutenberg Science Fiction CD - Mar.
2007.zip.torrent
http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu:6969/torrent.html?info_hash=788f590f28a799cc1009a9b780b649fd6f0a2e91

I get the "Opening..." Firefox dialog box & it has the Open with
FoxTorrent.exe radial button checked.
I click ok & it goes through the normal Firefox download sequence very
quickly.

Then I get the FoxTorrent Downloads page:

Downloading: 0B/Sec
Sharing: 0B/Sec
You have no downloads. You can find some here.

I've also tried one of the discs on the example downloads and stopping
RedSwoosh & restarting Firefox all with no success.

I'm on Win2003 EE

I previously had uTorrent installed & it worked just fine, as did the
torrent feature in Opera. I was just trying to streamline my machine
& like the option of a FF plugin.

Thanks, Chaz
