           Summary: claims torrent MIME type even if built without torrent
                    support
           Product: kget
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: torrent
        AssignedTo: kget at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jjm at keelhaul.me.uk


Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Even if KGet is configured and built without BitTorrent support:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- The following OPTIONAL packages could NOT be located on your system.
-- Consider installing them to enable more features from this software.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   * libktorrent  <http://ktorrent.org>
     Backend Library of KTorrent
     Needed to build KGet bittorrent support.
   * libmms  <http://libmms.sourceforge.net>
     Library to read mms streams
     Needed to build KGet mms support.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

it still claims the MIME type application/x-bittorrent in its kget.desktop
file.  This means that clicking on a .torrent link in Konqueror downloads the
torrent file using KGet, instead of opening the torrent file using KTorrent or
another configured torrent client.  This is not a particularly useful thing to
do.

The user can work around this, of course, by manually configuring the
application priority for this MIME type.  But that should not be necessary.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
With KTorrent built and installed as above, find a web page with a link to a
.torrent file, and click on the link.


Actual Results:  
The torrent file is downloaded via KGet and saved.


Expected Results:  
The torrent file should be opened in KTorrent.
