At the moment, torrent clients are considered almost a mandatory addition to the browser. The latter have somehow learned to download small files, but when it comes to a file weighing a couple of gigabytes, there is no way to do without a torrent.
And everything would be fine if the developers of one of the most common operating systems - Windows Vista and Seven - weren’t smart with access rights. Now you can easily see the harmful window with the inscription "Access denied" after downloading a huge archive. Simple users suffer, as usual. Just for those who do not know what to do with this, and this article is written.
If everything is clear with the solution to this problem on your computer, then what to do with the file that a friend sent you? After all, the system by default saves access rights along with files. We will assume that downloading files is not an option (for example, the problem was not immediately detected, and the source file was deleted), so we will understand the documents that were downloaded.
First of all, transfer the downloaded file to another folder, or copy it there. Usually, after this procedure, the files begin to be recognized as your own, regardless of whether you created them yourself or downloaded them through the torrent client. Access denied this time too? Move on.
If the desired file is an application, then try to run it as administrator. The probability of a successful launch, of course, is small, but just in case it’s worth checking - it will suddenly help, and you don’t need to go into the jungle of settings? If this time you will be denied access, restart the launch, but with the antivirus disabled (you can leave the firewall enabled).
The user's last hope is to manually change file permissions. This is done like this: right-click on the file you need and select "Properties". Then go to the "Security" tab - there, select the "Advanced" item. In the window that opens, find your account and assign it full access rights to the file. After that, apply the new parameters and close the window. The “Access denied” window should not be visible after this, because you will become the owner of this file. This method is quite long and requires a lot of unnecessary movements, but sometimes the system simply leaves no choice.
Ask your friend to carefully check the files that will be sent to you through the torrent. Access can be denied to you only because the sender forgot to uncheck the folder menu - “Save access rights”. And do not forget to check this item yourself, so as not to send the file twice. A trifle, and so much headache, if you forget about it.
Dealing with internal problems when you are denied access to files that you yourself created is much easier. In most cases, it will be enough to log into the system with administrator rights. Since there is only one account on most home computers, all conflicts with access rights go unnoticed, and if a problem arises, the user does not know what to do - after all, everything was solved automatically before. But it’s worth applying the above methods, as the problem will cease to cause you trouble.
