Magnet links and Safari

Hi, how do you get magnet links to work with Safari (Mac) I jest get an error: OS X doesn't recognize Internet addresses starting with "magnet:"

Thanks

I don't think that uTorrent supports magnet links. The only client that supports it on a Mac is Azureus/Vuze. Get that until the team adds support for it.

Re: Magnet links and Safari

µTorrent for Mac supports magnet links. You just have to add them in with the "Open URL" button/menu item.

Automatically handling them should be done, but I'm not a dev so I can't make any promises.

Re: Magnet links and Safari

I thought this would be the case and tried to past the magnet link in the Open URL field, but then nothing happens. The link starts with 'magnet:' and I'm using 0.9.2. What am I doing wrong?
