PsycloneTW Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just wondering if there was any plans to add magnet link support into the remote app? TPB has switched over to magnet links and while I don't use it much there are a few recurring items there that I like to be able to get at via the remote app...Thanks!

AnnSnark Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Magnet links are supported in web remote or are you talking about a different app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnSnark Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 You just copy magnet link in the URL field and everything should work well Please tell if there are still problems! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsycloneTW Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I posted this thread because I tried to paste the magnet link under the Add option in the remote app and when I did, and still do, I get this message:Nothing added: unknown protocol: magnetI have been able to get it to work simply by clicking on the link in my mobile browser. It seems that the app sets up an association between magnet links the remote app so just clicking on them will automatically launch and add the magnet link to the remote app, it will fail though if you aren't logged into the remote app(there seems to be a bug around this in that even if you have the 'Stay signed in' checkbox checked), so open the remote app, make sure you're logged in then click the magnet link in your browser and it should work. I hadn't tried just clicking on it before posting this thread so I didn't know it worked At any rate, that's my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it does not work from the free app for TPB although the app does let you search and then open in browser... That seems to make the app pointless.

gato.farpado Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Could somebody help me to understand a magnet link. Some torrents are only magnet and I don't seem to be able to download. There is obviously something I'm missing. Way back in the past, I used to click on a magnet link and it seemed to behave in the same way as a normal torrent dwnld. Now I seem to get nothing happening. Please help out there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjbk Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 im also having issues, adding torrents. I can add via rss, but im limited viewing only 50 at a time, so its inefficient.and when I click download torrent in chrome browser it downloads, then it switches/launches to Utorrent remote, but nothing happens it doesn't add . when I get the URL of the download torrent button, and add it, it tries to add it as an RSS feed and still does nothing im using latest remote as of 9th january 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
