Firefox 2.0

Does anyone here know how to help me with my file downloading problems?

Im trying to pick up a torrent from tokyo toshokan, and all firefox ever does is pop up a new tab/window, as if the torrent file were a webpage, although the sceen is blank. there is no download manager popup or anything, just a blank screen.
thanks.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for that, but there is no downloads tab. There is a downloads section under the "Main" tab, but that only controls the downloads windows pop-up and saving location options. There is also another section under the "Content" tab which manages operations for certain file types. If anyone knows how to append more file types to that list, PLEASE let me know how.

Also, right-click>save as does not produce a desirable response. It always opens up the save dialogue, and the automatic name is "download," which then, if I click save, proceeds to not save shit.
The worst part is that this is a completely fresh install, so it doesn't make sense that I somehow broke it.

Again, if someone knows how to append the file types automation, this should solve my problem. Thanks.

(also, "dialogue" was not part of FF's standard spell-check dictionary. )

There's nowhere I can't reach.
