Koffiewafel Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hello thereI'm new on the forum here. Since TPB only has magnet links my Utorrent won't display the files from the magnet link. I know there are a lot's of topics but it didn't help. I already download bitcomet but the download speed was very bad. My question is how can i fix this so i can select my files that i want? i already used toggle view but that didn't work too. I want to select the files before the magnet link is downloading. Or is there coming an update that will fix this? Please let me know. I'm really sad that i can't download music no more.. I would be very glad if someone could help me out of this or just let it know when you guys are busy for an update.My meaning is that magnet link's are useless at the moment of the day. I don't get it why you deleted al the torrent files it's just still beter than magnet links.So if u could answer the question or tell me there is an update coming up i would be very gladSorry for bad english i'm Dutch.Thank you (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmymao Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Magnet links are much shorter than torrent links and do not contain any file name or size info. That's why the files cannot be selected until after the download begins.This article explains the reason for switching:http://www.zeropaid.com/news/87259/pirate-bay-drops-trackers-converts-to-magnet-links/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLS Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 That is a pretty old article, explaining why TPB shutdown their tracker, and added magnet links in November 2009. Which is when I started using the magnet links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vahnx Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Will uTorrent be updated to fix this? It could simply "false start" the download to count the number of entries and retrieve the filenames, then force a popup with the selection menu, then automatically skip the files that aren't selected.
