Westerner Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi My internet explorer is out of date but I am unable to download IE8 - not sure why but maybe because I have copy windows. Many of my favourite websites are very very slow (especially Thai Visa) because of my old browser and today I downloaded Mozilla Firefox which speeded everything up and I thought my problem was solved. However, I download a lot of torrents and when I tried to download one today with Mozilla everything went haywire, so I've had to remove the Mozilla browser. Can anybody recommend a browser which is compatible with downloading torrents. Many thanks. Westerner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westerner Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Mozilla Firefox works fine for me. Even when you download torrents? When I tried to download a torrent, Mozilla opened up about 28 tabs and would have carried on had I not clicked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that any browser can fix the problems you have... Take a backup of all your data immediately... before you do anything else and have it reinstalled properly....

Westerner Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Problem solved!!! I now have two browsers - I use Mozilla Firefox for the internet (very fast), and I use Internet Explorer when I'm downloading torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiu-Jitsu Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 But Opera is the only one with a built in Torrent Client. No need for external software. Click on Torrent File > Open > That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to do a backup before whatever is making his computer go haywire really bites him. BTW, I download torrents using Azureus (Vuze) peaking at 6-700 kB/s and use Firefox 3.5 at the same time and have done so for months/years without the problem Westerner is experiencing. It could all be finger trouble of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westerner Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Hi Guys Thanks everybody for all your suggestions. I have no problems whatsoever downloading torrents using Internet Explorer..... and Mozilla Firefox is so fast when I open any websites, so I have decided to leave well alone. (If it ain't broken, don't fix it:lol:). If I have any problems in the future then I will come back to this thread and and try your suggestions. Thanks again. W.
