Selection of Magnet Link will not add torrent to client

Hi Folks,

Selection of a Magnet Link on a Torrent Site will no longer automatically add the torrent to my uTorrent client.  It used to, but now does not.

It used to be that when I went to a site like KAT or PB and found a torrent of interest, if I clicked on the magnet link, the torrent would appear in my uTorrent.

Now, when I click on the magnet link, nothing happens.  What has changed??

How can I make it do what it used to do?

Thanks for your time.

In case anyone else has this issue, thanks to the above clue, here's the fix:

uTorrent needed to have its File Association linked to Comodo Dragon.

1) In uTorrent, make sure the "Preferences>General>"When Downloading" section has the "Append .!ut to incomplete files" is checked

2) Start Button>Default Programs>Associate a file Type with a Protocol or Program.

3) Find “.!ut” and create an association with Comodo Dragon.

Done

That makes no sense why do you need to associate to Utorrent files for? Comodo dragon is a Browser problem and has nothing to do with utorrent.

Sorry for the late response.  But, in case it can be of any use to anyone else: yes, I'm sure.  That's all I did and afterwards, the problem was magically fixed.  That's all I know.  I can't respond with any technical justification.  It was all done empirically.
