If You Have BitTorrent Metainfo File Installed

If this software package is already installed on your PC, but it still won't work to open your TORRENT file, you might have to check that the file associations are correct. Right-click on the file, select "Open With..." and then select BitTorrent Metainfo File. That will create an association between the TORRENT file extension and your chosen software.

Your TORRENT Might Be Corrupt

Finally, if you're still having issues opening your TORRENT file, download the file again or ask the sender to resend it. It's possible that your TORRENT file might be corrupt. As a last resort, contact the software developers to see if they may be of further assistance.
