Downloaded torrent files no longers auto-run after downloading

When downloading a torrent file, Firefox use to auto-run the file after completing download. Resulting in the file being added to my torrent program. Now it stopped doing that and I can find where the setting is to change this behavior. Yesterday i did not have this problem.

Yes, for a strange reason, the default behaviour for downloading Torrent files changed to "save to" instead of opening the file with uTorrent (or BitTorrent or anything else you're using).
To fix this, go to your Firefox "Tools" menu, then choose "Options / Applications", and under "TORRENT File", change the value to your favourite Torrent application.
Hope this helps.

Auto-run after a period of time

Hey anyone, is there any way to set up iDVD to have the disc auto play after the menu has been left on for about 30 seconds or so. I know there is the auto-play feature for when you first start up the DVD, but we are wanting the menu to run first, then if nothing gets pressed go into one of the videos.
Thanks for any help!

Nope, this is not possible in iDVD.
You can suggest it though here :-

Auto run file for installation of HP Officejet 8500 Pro A909g Missing from driver download

I have a HP Officejet 8500 Pro A909g. I downloaded the new Windows 8.1 64 bit driver as 8.1 would not allow the scanner to operate on the existing driver. Printing was fine. When i went to install the wizard, auto run file for the wizard is missing and so the installation can not run and instal the new driver.

Hello IanHP8500,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue getting your Officejet 8500 scanning on Windows 8.1. I will do my best to help you with this issue.
Did you upgrade to 8.1 from an older version of Windows?
If so, with it not scanning correctly. You can try just removing the HP Solution Center from programs and features.
Go to the bottom left corner of your screen right click on the Windows icon> go to Control Panel> Go to Programs> uninstall Solution Center if it's listed.
Next, instead of using the printer install wizard. Download the software from this link: HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver. Let it run through, it should prompt to " add more software". This should allow you to reinstall Solution Center.
If you run into issues, there is something you may have to do. If you get a file missing error here, or the install hangs check your computer for the following.
McAfee Live Safe - Disable the "Realtime Scanning".
Check for and remove HPOINS*.dat or HPWINS*.dat. Here is a link to a post by JonW on how to do this: Re: installer setup hangs under Windows 8.1.
Try all of this, and let me know how you make out. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Let ff auto delete file from c:windows\temp after download?

Say you download a rar file. firefox builds the file first in C:\windows\temp as it download to completion. Then FF COPIES this file to the destination folder which could be on another drive. BUT FF never deletes this temp-file in c:windows\temp after copying. And you can NOT delete this file temp-file until you close FF. Deleting browser history temp files using ctrl-shift-del does not work.
Why is this?
Say I download many rar files at once. After each file completes firefox cCOPIES them to the destintaion directory. Again they go to another drive. BUT FF never deletes the temp-files form c:\windows\temp after completion of download and copying to the destintaion folder. UNLESS you close firefox.
Meanwhile this can clog up my small SSD drive which is only 20GiB
Need workaround please?

OK you developers are such autistic a**holes. I just tried to manually delete the temp files FF makes when downloading files from c:\windows\temp. This did not free up space there's still the same amount of space left (163MB) on my SSD as before deleting the tempfiles form this dir. WTF is this?

Auto run vi after loading path file

I was wondering if there is a way to automatically run a VI after you click on "OK" to load a file from the file path control as opposed to selecting file and then manually clicking run each time on the front panel toolbar. I attached the simplified VI and txt file to be plotted for clarity.

So I tried what you suggested and I believe it's working like you said it would. For situations where you would select multiple files, I put the event structure inside the while loop. One thing I noticed is if you select a file and the VI runs and then select the same file again...a error pops up in the "Read from Measurement File" object. Is there a way to ignore this error? It works fine if you select a different file otherwise.

FF4 won't download torrent file correctly.

FF4 downloads the torrent file as a 0 bytes file, making it unable to be opened with my client program. It happens just with torrent files and in ff4 and the source isn't broken. It loads it correct after 10-20 attempts of downloading.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Issues with iTunes 9.2 not running after download.

I have been trying to get iTunes 9.2 going since the 24th when I purchased my iPhone 4. I have had NO LUCK getting iTunes to properly run after downloading the flie.
I have Vista 64 bit.
When I download the file and attempt to run it, I get the error "Publisher could not be verified" I select run anyway and nothing happens.
I have tried every suggestion made on this form
I have-
Tried to run as administrator
Deleted temp folder in Users/Name
Ran windows installer cleanup utility
downloaded the file from firefox and IE
It's very annoying because the 32 bit will run and install, but the 64 bit will not. Any suggestions?

None of your software will install on any computer I own. I tried to download Safari and download iTunes through that browser to see if the results would be different, but after downloading it that file does NOTHING after being ran. It's so pathetic I can't even sync my iPhone 4 to my computer after having it since Thursday. Three different computers three different downloads with 2 different browsers.
I'm getting ready to just box up this phone and return it, if I cant even sync it to iTunes, it's useless to me.
If I download through Firefox, nothing happens when I run the executable.
If I download it through Internet Explorer, I get the message that it is an invalid publisher, or publisher could not be identified.
I have erased my temp folder, deleted browser history on both browsers, still nothing.
I am running it in Administrator mode, I have done every suggestion that you have on your site and nothing works.

DMG's not auto mounting after download

I've recently switched to using Safari as my main browser, and I'm having trouble with DMG's not mounting after I successfully download them.
I do have the option enabled 'Open "safe" files after downloading' turned on, and some files auto-open after downloading them, but not DMG's - and that seems to be what I most frequently download.
I even tried creating a com.apple.DownloadAssessment.plist file and added DMG to the safe list, as discussed here. But that didn't seem to make any difference either.
All in all I'm very happy with Safari, but have to get these darned DMG's to auto-mount like they are supposed to.
Any and all ideas welcomed.

Ok, I resolved this one myself.
FlashMount 1.5.2 was the problem. FlashMount is a killer alternative to Apple's Disk Image Mounter in OSX but for some reason with Safari DMG's don't auto mount. There is no problem with Camino, not sure why this is happening which is unfortunate since FlashMount looks to be deprecated.

Can I leave the display open for say all day while downloading torrent file

Sometimes it takes all day to download a torrent file can i leave the display on or should i turn it off and will my macbook keep downloading the file thank you

It's fine to leave it on but you can also just set the display to go to sleep and let your computer keep working. The settings are under *System Preferences* in *Energy Saver*. I usually have mine turn off after 15 minutes so it will rest while my download or other work continues.

How I use aria2 to download torrent files

I was reading topics' titles, and then I saw this one:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=154476
At first, he wanted to use aria2, but then he switched to rtorrent. rtorrent is great, but It's not good for scripting, so I don't use it. aria2 is the best way to download torrent files, within command line. But how?
I use this script, because sometimes aria2 stops downloading, but doesn't exit! It's not a big deal when you're near the computer, but when you go somewhere else, you can't check if it's downloading. So I wrote this little script:
#! /bin/bash
if [ ! -x /usr/bin/aria2c ]; then
echo "aria2c is not installed"
exit 1
fi
if [ ! -d ~/.torrentdl ]; then
mkdir ~/.torrentdl
fi
while :; do
for i in $@; do
MAGNET=false
if [[ "$i" = magnet* ]]; then
MAGNET=true
elif [ ! -f "$i" ]; then
echo "The file ('$i') is not given or does not exist"
exit 1
fi
if ! aria2c --hash-check-only=true "$i" &> /dev/null; then
aria2c "$i"
sleep 30m && kill -9 `pidof aria2c`
else
echo "Torrent is downloaded!"
fi
done
done
Simply, it starts downloading and restarts it every 30 minutes.
There are some arguments that will help you with aria2:
-S, --show-files[=true|false]:
Print file listing of ".torrent", ".meta4" and ".metalink" file and exit. In case of ".torrent" file, additional information (infohash, piece length, etc) is also printed.
--hash-check-only[=true|false]:
If true is given, after hash check using --check-integrity option, abort download whether or not download is complete.

Maybe this belongs in the wiki, specifically the "Useful Tips and Tricks" section. It is not vital to usage of aria2, but I am sure there are others that might find this useful, and the wiki seems like a much more logical place to go searching for something like this.

SQL Server 2012 stops running after setup files are copied.

SQL Server 2012 setup stops running after setup files are copied.
I've experiencing the same issue on two different machines. Both are 64 bit running Server 2008.
On both of them I tried installing using the files from the ISO. I initially used winzip to extract the files. The setup was running fine, but the SQL Server engine had an error when it installed. Then using the Add/Remove programs i uninstalled all of the
SQL Server 2012 applications, including the setup files.
Now when i try to install using the "New SQL Server stand-alone..." wizard it will copy the setup files and then the wizard never comes back. I've tried mounting the ISO, extracting with winrar, Burning the ISO to a dvd and downloading the 3 files. I also
tried mounting ISO of the version that was just recently released. I run into the same issue with all of them.
Thanks for the help.

can you try
setup.exe
/Action=install /x86 /UpdateEnabled=false
If this doesn't work please use below FAQ to locate and upload SQL Server setup logss.

Thank you, it's work!!! :) Maybe problem was in /UpdateEnabled=false and I could try to install a x64 version... but too late, setup in progress and I do not want to have to try all over again :)

Nothing happens after I click run after downloading it

So I click "Run" after I download the setup. And then, in the steps, it says that a Mozilla Firefox setup wizard should appear. Nothing appears for me.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
