1058751 - Cannot download torrent files with latest beta (FF 32B)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1057764

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

Attachment: pc.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140822024446

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click on a torrent file to download (e.g. from here: http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=downloadcheck&id=8380f23078e4f8f32f8cc2909722e6bf917a5e41) 
2. Select "open with [utorrent]" and click ok. 



Actual results:

torrent file beings downloading, but the download is stuck with the "unknown time remaining" status message (see attachment) 

Sometime, I get firefox seems to think that the torrent is several trillion GB in size and nothing ever happens.


Expected results:

The download of the torrent file should have been complete and the torrent client should have opened the torrent.

This stopped happening after a recent update beta update. Magnet links work just fine. I tried deleting the "mimeTypes.rdf", but this didn't help. I get the same problem if I try to save the torrent file first, so this is not an issue related to utorrent or "default file handling".
