Pyxis Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 FYI:The Pirate Bay just switched to magnet links as the default, so you have to chose the 'other' option. In addition, u Torrent saves magnet link files to its default location, not allowing you to specify your usual folder. So even when you've got the file, you might have a hard time finding it! Alas, magnet links seem to be the way of the future; hopefully these inconveniences get addressed before we have no choice but to use them.

preschuttidesigns Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Alright, so I'm having this same problem and I'm not too savvy with magnetic links and don't know what they are haha. How do I fix this, step by step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's not "magnetic" it's "magnet.There's nothing to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preschuttidesigns Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Oh sorry see what I mean about not being savvy? Whoops! And of course there's something to fix, or work around because I am not able to download anything. I get the same screen from the first post. Help with that pretty please?

DreadWingKnight Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 No. It's to do with how uTorrent handles magnets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preschuttidesigns Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Regardless, can someone please tell me how I can make downloading possible again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Kew Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 It looks to me like, Pirate bay has switched the magnet link and download torrent link. ie i used to click the left Hand side link, but now I need to click the right hand side link. Once I read the above post, I checked which link I was clicking, and without thinking and through habit. Now paying a bit more attention and NOT clicking the magnet link, everything works fine again. Hope this helps, and makes sense !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
