Note: I'm using portable apps on my d:\ drive, not a usb stick...
If I download a .torrent file in Firefox and choose 'open with utorrent', instead of opening the portable version and starting the download, the utorrent updater runs and tries to install the full version of utorrent on my c:\ drive.
However, if I open the portable version first, and *then* download the .torrent file, everything works well.
I don't want to have to manually open utorrent before clicking on a .torrent file. Any suggestions, before I resort to installing the full version?
Thanks.

full correct function so far.
There will be file association with portable apps in future.
Currently, the files extension will be connected to a program which is stated in registry of windows for that purpose. This is so with any files and any extensions so.

Just an idea ...
Next time instead of accepting the default in Firefox,
- click the drop down next to Open With
- select 'other'
- browse for the Portable uTorrent on your D drive.
Not sure if it will work for you, but it has worked for me in the past and I believe Firefox will remember from then on.
You just need to select uTorrentPortable.exe after Open With in your uTorrentPortable directory. Firefox Portable will use it from then on and the path is automatically adjusted as you move PCs.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks for all the replies.
This fixed it.
