.torrent files and their stubborn streak

I cannot get this issue resolved:

Using utorrent, I have noted the following:
1)D'loads empty .torrent file from Vertor and Torrentreactor. I do find the empty file icon in my 'Downloads".
2)Does not even d'load a .torrent file at Fatal-Attraction. (Although the first box confirming/asking if I want to open with utorrent (does pop up. . . I click "OK" and nothing) There is not even a .torrent file icon in my "Downloads".

I have had no issues whatsoever, in the past, with Demonoid, TPB, Mininova Iso, etc.

Today I even tried Vuze, but it seems to do no better. I have noticed that the "empty" files I get with Vertor or Torrentreactor seem to be 'associated with another process'.

Would you guys give me some advice?
 
What do you mean with "empty"? Are the files zero-length, or do they have the generic paper sheet icon on Windows Explorer? Can you post a screen?

You could try resetting uT's .torrent file association at Preferences -> General -> Associate with .torrent files.
 
I was talking about this:

enter about:config in the address bar and hit enter
right-click the preference browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes and select reset
right-click the preference plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types and select reset
locate the file mimeTypes.rdf in the profile folder and delete it. Make sure it is in the profile folder and not in the programs folder
Click to expand...
 
mimeTypes.rdf is located in this folder if that's what you meant:

Code: 
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\

You'll have to make Windows Explorer show hidden files and folders to see the Application Data directory.
