Hello,

I did not understand you. Please feel free to use your native language. We'll try to Google-translate it.

Hi,

I think I get it as I face the same issue.
I don't want FDM to handle torrent files but whenever I click on a torrent link FDM begins a torrent download.
I added the .torrent extension to the exclusion list but it does not change anything.
The purpose is to download the torrent file only, not the content of the torrent, or let the system download the torrent file.

Is there a way to disable torrent support in latest FDM ?

Hello,

Well, I would suggest you to not use FDM to download .torrent files then.

But, if you really want to, you can just delete downloadsbt.dll file in FDM's installation folder. In this case FDM won't be able to download any torrent. Please note that you'll have to remove this file again and again after you install a new version of FDM.

The above is for Windows/Linux. For macOS, I think you can't remove it, this will break signature and macOS will refuse to launch FDM then. But I'm not absolutely sure. You may try it

I take this opportunity to ask. Why don't you want to use FDM to download torrents? Is it slower? Or maybe you miss some features?

That's why I would like to make an exclusion for torrent files but I can't.
I mostly use debrid services for torrent, that's why I don"t need FDM or any other BT client.

Thanks, there are 2 workarounds :

- Remove downloadsbt.dll is OK, FDM download torrent file
- Add torrent site to exception list so FDM does not download the file, browser downloader does.
