I got a new computer with win 8 and chrome I down loaded Utorrent and went to PB to click on magnet link and utorrent didnt open up as it usually does....it did nothing.....i dont want to put them in manually it was much easier when i could just click on the magnet icon and utorrent would pop up ad the link would be in there ready to down load.as I mentioned i have been on line for hours looking up info and have tried a few things with settings ect but nothing has worked. I really hope that someone knows what the problem is...this is driving me Nuts!!!Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
