Just a note for general information of the list. I had a problem with FireFox 1.0 persisting to recognize BitTornado as my *.torrent default application even after uninstalling BitTornado and reinstalling BitTorrent and listing BitTorrent as the only application associated with *.torrent files in kcontrol>Components>Associations.
I finally resolved the problem by deleting a file called BitTornado.keys in /usr/share/mime-info/. This file was left on my computer despite my removal of BitTornado - probably because I had previously installed BitTornado via the ./configure, make, make install method.
I believe that the association of BitTornado as the default/preferred application for *.torrent files persisted because alpahbetically "BitTornado.keys" preceded "BitTorrent.keys", or "Mozilla-Firefox.keys", or any other /usr/share/mime-info/ *.keys file which reflected the file to application association set by kcontrol>Components>Associations.
Thanks again for all the responses to my inquiry.
How do I dump BitTornado as the default application and get BitTorrent back as my default application to download *.torrent files?
Thanks in Advance,
Check kcontrol > Components > File Associations. Make sure that BitTorrent is at the top of the list of possible apps.
