Cant click torrent links in Chrome

[randir14]

I recently reinstalled Windows, when I got online and tried downloading a torrent I clicked the link in Chrome and a popup appeared, asking if I wanted to allow the torrent link to automatically open Utorrent. I accidentally clicked no, and now whenever I try downloading a torrent (regardless of what site I use) nothing happens when I click the link. If I try right clicking the link, "save as" is grayed out.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I've already tried deleting Utorrent's settings.dat and settings.dat.old, and tried reinstalling it.

Reset the associations in your browser.

I ended up fixing it. If anybody encounters the same issue here's what I did:

1. Make sure Chrome is closed

2. Browse to C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

3. Open the Local State file with Notepad

4. Do a search for "magnet", you'll find a line that says something like "magnet=true". Delete the whole line, save and exit.

Now when clicking a torrent link you should get the previous request asking if you want to launch an external program, click yes.
