emeralds Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Nothing happens when I click a magnet link. I know what happened was I got a popup the first time I clicked one just out of curiousity and it asked to interact with utorrent and I just said no/never ask again. Ever since TPB got rid of the download links and left us with nothing but the magnet I now have to copy the magnet link url and put it into utorrent through "add url"...I'd like to save myself the few clicks and get another chance at the pop up prompt. Anyone have a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnSnark Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hi, you'll need to install something like RCDefaultApp and change associations there.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeralds Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I've downloaded RCdefaultapp, can you tell me what to do from there? I have it opened and I'm seeing utorrent through media and apps but the magnet link is greyed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnSnark Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Ok, it depends on what browser you use. For Safari it is in URLs -- magnet, then choose the app. If you use Chrome, you do it like this http://mznikkilc.blogspot.com/2012/05/fix-magnet-links-for-torrents-using.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeralds Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thank you, I am on Chrome and that linked worked well. Now that I have the magnet functioning I'd also been meaning to ask, when it's a multiple file torrent and you don't want all the files, is there a way to pick individually like you could with the downloaded torrent files? Here's an example of what it looks like when I click a magnet for a multiple file 50GB torrent http://gyazo.com/5a718b2b0d40a1b4d85e03aba4defe2a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeralds Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Anyone? If there's no fix to this I'd also be happy to just know how to download a magnet link when download icons aren't available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreasvb Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 You need to start the torrent first then choose what files to download from Files-tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeralds Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Where's the files tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreasvb Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 See the screenshot.Not sure if it's changed in newer versions, but it should be somewhere there close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
