Alright, so both computers do this now and I've also gone back to xp on the netbook (for customizing reasons, otherwise I'd still be on 7).

Anyway, I figured out a way to download the torrent files, but maybe someone can explain why I have to use this method. Pretty much goes like this:
1) Click on the torrent like normal. This sets me into an infinite loop of "waiting for *insert torrent name site*
2) Ctrlaltdelete and kill firefox. Can't just close firefox and save the session, have to kill it.
3) Reopen firefox
4) Within the first 5 seconds or so, I can click the link to download the torrent and it will download. If the window or opportunity is missed, I go back to step 2 and try again.

This also posses a problem cause sometimes I don't get the 5 seconds, I get closer to 5 milliseconds and the more times I have to kill firefox and reopen, the less chance of success I have and have to completely start over.
