Safari: Open .torrent Files Automatically After Downloading
I’m all about efficiency — especially when it comes to downloading my torrents. I’ve been gradually getting more and more annoyed that every time I download a .torrent file, I have to double click it (in the Downloads window) to have it open in Transmission.
Solution: Download this zip file which contains a revised version of com.apple.DownloadAssessment.plist. This is the file that tells Safari what files are safe to open after downloading – it’s been revised to include .torrent files as “safe.”
After unzipping, just move the file to YourUserName/Library/Preferences; replace the file if it already exists.
Happy Downloading!
P.S. Thanks to Manuel Studer for this tip!

It doesn’t seem to work with snow leopard. Any alternatives? Thanks.
@Chris. Restart Safari… Just did it on Safari
@primus
Meant on Snow Leopard
works a treat, even on snow leopard! thanks a lot
you’re all missing something:
open transmission, go to preferences> transfers
select the last option….”Auto add: Watch for torrent files in:”
plus select “trash original torrent file” on top and you’ll save even more time.
can you use this for safari for windows?
wicked. works perfectly. Thanx
thanks mike for the ‘auto add’ tip.
