Sunpower Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Suddenly Magnet links have stopped working on my computer. I have used them for a long time, but they just stopped opening when I click on the Magnet link icon on Kickass Torrents. I did a Google search and it is hard to find any succinct explanations of how to fix this problem. I am using Windows 8.1. My uTorrent is updated, I think, and it was opening Magnet links a few months ago. Thanks for any information on how to solve this problem.

I click on a Magnet Link and I get the message: "No apps are installed to open this kind of link (Magnet)" Under preferences, I have clicked on associate with torrent files. The past few months, I have had a terrible time getting utorrent to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunpower Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I also get the same error message when I click on a torrent link. I've updated both Chrome and had Windows 8.1 updates recently. I wonder if that is making the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
