Set its value to false 6. Select your torrent client. You can also visit this link to know more. Basically, magnet links is just an easier way to download torrents as supposed to. IMO, I see no major difference besides fewer clicks to download. Magnet links are typically available on The Pirate Bay among others such as KickAssTorrents, which I think is going into magnets or already is in. Long story short, you need a torrent client such as uTorrent or Transmission which is available pre-installed in every major Linux distro such as Linux Mint and Ubuntu.
I think Fedora has Deluge pre-installed but I'm not sure. Ask Question. Asked 9 years, 7 months ago. Active 4 years ago. Viewed k times.

Just discovered this as I download Germany demolish Brazil. Unfortunately in recent Firefox there is no "magnet" entry in "Applications". Also "Launch Application" window doesn't appear when the link is clicked. To reset the association and get the dialog to appear again, do the following. In the Firefox address bar, enter about:config , then search for network.
If you already have a Bittorrent client, the process for associating magnet links in other browsers is largely similar. Just find the file you want to download and click it. Alternatively, you may get a prompt asking if you want to open the magnet file with your Bittorrent app, like this message in Microsoft Edge that is pictured below. For Utorrent in its default directory, it should look like this:. Also, torrents can be a legally murky area. By signing up, you agree to our Privacy Policy and European users agree to the data transfer policy.

Its main purpose is to turn magnet links directly into torrent files so that you can download these instead to load them into your client. You get the option to download the torrent file directly, or to open a panel instead. The first option attempts to download the torrent file by iterating through all supported services. The first that offers the torrent is used to download the file. Magrent supports Torrage, Zoink, Torcache and Thetorrent currently. Please note that the first two services are offline currently while the last two work just fine.
The second option displays a panel to you that lists all four supported services. There you can select the service you want to download the torrent file from. It needs to be noted that services may not offer the torrent file for the magnet link. I managed to find a reputable source that helped me resolve this problem, and I thought I might as well pass along the information to anyone else who would stumble upon this several-year-old thread.
