Torrent title coming up as hash (solved)

Hey there-
I really love KAT and use it almost exclusively. The only thing I don't like is that whenever I download a torrent, it saves to my computer as the hash number rather than the torrent title. So for instance i just downloaded 2 tv show torrents. they came up in my documents folder as:
2D24331938050A9B5E1694C8D3717ED27F5A44F2.torrent
BD715B75D27917D7032CF668D37258EF279D82C3.torrent
it still downloads fine and once the file begins to download, the proper title is shown, but it's annoying if i download a bunch of tv show torrents, because i often download a lot then i have to try and figure out which one is the first episode, the second, etc. they're listed alphabetically on my hard drive, so...
I use Utorrent, which is also the default program for all of my torrents. I use firefox as my browser. i've tried using IE to see if it was a broswer issue but it still happened. I also notice that this is the only torrent site that i have this problem with. I've use bttorrent, torentjunkie, and a few others and it doesn't happen.
i did a search to see if i could find any solutions and found this is happening to a lot of people on a few torrent sites. the best answer i found was, "it seems to be a torcache.com issue." but that's all they said, so... not really helpful.
any help would be appreciated!

Well thats the way it works sorry, but you can simply pause the torrent and start it when your ready tongue
but it only works like that here, is what i'm saying.
i hadn't thought of starting them all, then pausing them. i guess i'll have to do that if i keep using kat. it's just a shame i can't find a solution to the actual problem.
oh well, thank you. : )

There isn't one.. it's the way it's CODED.. the only solution is editing the file name on the .torrent
if your torrent goes straight to µtorrent or similar click cancel because the downloaded .torrent will be in your download folder and there you can simply edit the name and use it for later.

Why not just associate .torent files with your default bittorrent client? And have your browser always perform the default action (open the torrent, and begin processing)? You could then just stop it.
I understand you said you don't want to have it always start immediately, but there is an option to disable automatically starting the download, and, instead, have it sit in the queue until you manually start it.
