How to open ZED file?
An often recurring problem with BitTorrent Metainfo is that ZED is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ZED files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZED file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install uTorrent
In this case, you should first verify that the uTorrent application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing uTorrent into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ZED files.
Programs to open ZED file
Remember to download programs supporting ZED files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of uTorrent with ZED files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZED file to open in the uTorrent application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the uTorrent application as the default for handling the ZED file.
Step 3. Update uTorrent to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the uTorrent program, it is possible that BitTorrent Metainfo requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the BitTorrent, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZED file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZED file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ZED file. However, remember that not every infected ZED file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZED files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZED file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact BitTorrent, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZED files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ZED file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ZED file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZED file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZED file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
