http://ubuntuforums.org – When I go to torrent now I have to use a magnet link bit it wants to open in deluge which doesn't work as it doesn't *** the torrent to the list. Because it's a magent I can't 'open' it with something else like qBittorent. I am currently using the uTorrent server to torrent but I can't stand using it because I need to use my browser to use it. So is this a way for me to: 1) Get qBittorent to open a magnet link? 2) Get qBittornet to be my default torrent program instead of Deluge? 3) Another way for me to torrent using magnet links? Thanks P.S I know torrenting is an naughty subject to brin (Hardware)

I have utorrent running on wine without issue. I click on the utorrent.exe and it opens and runs great. My problem is that even after setting .torrent files to open with utorrent (instead of transmission which is the defualt) and then try to open them NOTHING happens. I have to go into utorrent and open the torrent files.

Deluge, a full-featured BitTorrent client that uses libtorrent in its backend and features multiple user-interfaces including GTK+, web and console, is now at version 1.3.6.

The latest Deluge 1.3.6 comes with a lot of fixes and tons of new features and users have been advised to update to the latest version.

Highlights of Deluge 1.3.6:

This should be simple to implement, and will help your userbase slightly: offer magnet links on the #! downloads page in addition to serving the static .torrent file. Some network admins block the download of .torrent files by MIME type (often in school/university networks to fight piracy); magnet links circumvent this.

For now my girlfriend is using Transmission as the torrent downloader. She downloads magnet links and they start after a couple of seconds to download the content. Today she wants to try qbittorrent.

Transmission not working right 1 year 11 weeks ago

Hi everyone, I have in the past been able to download torrents with transmission from TPB in the past but they changed there site a bit and now they don't have the ".torrent" files that I always used to download torrents. When I try to just use the magnet links on TPB it just opens a extra google chrome browser (the web browser i use) but doesn't download the torrent.

xdg-open and i3wm 17 weeks 6 days ago

Has anyone had any luck with trying to get xdg-open to work with magnet links in Chromium?

So there is a directory full of torrent files:

debian.iso.torrent fedora.iso.torrent

I can start downloading them with a:

rtorrent *.torrent

command, when the working directory is the same where the torrents are.

But. Every time when I start rtorrent in this way it calculates all the hashes..it takes looong time do to that and it's a cpu intensive thing.

which Torrent client? 18 weeks 5 days ago

I have searched other thread but they all seem bit out of date, what torrent client do you recommend?

Currently I am using uTorrent on Android because of their reputation for desktop. But I can't even remove torrent and data at the same time in uTorrent app.

What is the best Torrent client current on the market?

Make Chrome (or Chromium) to open magnet links.The original article is here: http://www.foresightlinux.se/make-chrom … s-in-lxde/The original is for LXDE as it says in the title but it will work just fine . But I'm going to post it here for others since this worked perfectly. :)Very simple and few steps involved.
