Jimmy83 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 For some reason, when I go to look at the files before I download them, the box where they'd normally be displayed is totally blank.It downloads fine, but I can't select/de select files from the torrent before downloading them which is a bit annoying as sometimes I just want the odd song off an album and not the whole thing etc.The box is just completely blank...nothing there for name, size or anything.Any help much appreciated.

WLS Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 The magnet URI scheme is a draft open standard defining a URI scheme for magnet links, which are mainly used to reference resources available for download via peer-to-peer networks. Such a link typically identifies a file not by location or name, but by content; more precisely, by the content's cryptographic hash value.You can not see the files in a torrent because you don't have the .torrent until you connect to someone and get it from them.One site has made magnet links the default, and will be doing away with the torrent file all together, in about a month or so. Magnets are the future.More info.http://tinyurl.com/7ujfdgxI was an early adopter when magnets became available in 2009, been using them ever since.

WLS Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Try and find it on another site, or download the torrent file while they are still there.I guess they picked a date, and won't be supporting .torrent files anymore. Others will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
