IO Error [Errno 13] Permission denied

I installed wine and then utorrent no prob but when I downloaded a torrent file in firefox and chose to always use utorrent to open .torrent files I sorta screwed my self.

FF wont used utorrent to open torrent files by default and I cant remove the association from FF. I know I goto edit, preferences, content and then file types but I cant get the file type to come up. AND it no longer gives me the option of saving the torrent so I cant use anything else to open it!

Ive uninstalled wine and utorrent with is and now FF says the helper app cant be found, and I still cant change the association.

help!

error - now I get "IO Error [Errno 13] Permission denied" when trying to download any torrents!

Hello:
If you are using Gnome / Nautilus try the following.
Open up your File Browser [Nautilus] and find a bittorrent file
Right click on the file and select Properties, then Open With
and see if FF is listed as application?
If it is remove it.

I just downloaded a torrent file with Konqueror and when I went to open it I got that error. So far Ive found this

On Windows, this means another downloader is already running on this torrent. Close the other downloader (hint: try looking under Processes in the Task Manager) and try again. On Unix/Mac OS X, and very rarely on Windows, this means the torrent files are owned by another user, and you do not have permission to access them.

I just reinstalled both wine and utorrent and while I can download the torrents I got with Konqueror I cant get FF to let me download the file to the desktop/change file associations/ OR get utorrent to open the files.
