Having just installed Leopard I notice that all my Torrent files are using Limewire to download when I would prefer to use another app. Is there a way to change this please?

Topaz, make sure you have the program you want to use to open the torrent files installed.

Right click on a torrent file and go to Open With, when the menu expands, click Other. Find the application that you want to use in the Applications folder, then select Always Open With at the bottom of the window and click Open.

All torrent files should now open with that app. from now on.

You can also do this by:
Get Info (+i) on a .torrent file
Open With [ choose app ]
Change All...
