DreadWingKnight Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 It's normally handled in the browser or through the "associate with torrent files" button in preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvtrv Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 It's normally handled in the browser or through the "associate with torrent files" button in preferences. Right ok. I'm using Google Chrome so not sure how to do this. Torrents are fine it's just Magnet links.Do you know how and can you further assist me please?

dvtrv Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chrome/CZZgyVGccYY/B5XEO0A5VOAJWill this work in Win 8.1? I'm on 8.1 using Chrome.Wow you're really good for finding this for me.Incidentally, if you're familiar, as I'm confident you are and assuming I should use the guide for Win 8.1, should I just delete the line that contains the word "Magnet" or more?

DreadWingKnight Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 You should be able to get it with just the one line. The steps are not version-of-windows specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steps are not version-of-windows specific.Thanks again.I've spent so much time attempting to resolve this I seem to have failed to mention I have changed changed an item in regedit.Frostwire had taken over Torrent and magnet. I knew how to change back to uT but not for magnet.I removed the entry which contained Frostwire in the following place in regedit;HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT-Magnet-shell-open-command. I know I've messed up doing this, I'm very familiar with making amendments in regedit but it would seem for the first time in many years it backfired this time. If you can assist now having this knowledge great but IF not I'd understand. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvtrv Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I've done what you seek a few times, but I find it's just easiest to just reinstall whatever client you want to handle magnet links..... Prior settings are always remembered. This way allows you to not having to rely on keeping this info and frees you from the fear of breaking your settings when you play around with another client, thus being a bit more free with your whims..... :-) Understood thanks for what you have done.
