open torrents with utorrent or other?(gnome)

[stimpak]

you can in gnome right click and associate a file type to be opened with an application! just right click, properties, open with -> add blah blah blah ...

you know the drill, its not the issue here.

but what I should write as command to prompt gnome to open utorrent, add the torrent file, and do whatever i want?

what exactly do you want to do? And why dont you use the transmission bit-torrent downloader available for linux. It is very similar to utorrent. On my machine it uses only 6mb memory.

You can use a script like this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
wine start "`winepath -w "$1"`"

wine start "`winepath -w "$1"`"

Doesnt work
here's what i've used :

Code: Select all

wine start "'C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe -w "$1"'"

Then your program didn't correctly associated files with itself.

Code: Select all

wine start "'C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe -w "$1"'"

It's not correct. You forgot winepath.
