How To Fixed Download Magnet Links With Qbittorrent

To associate magnet links to qBittorrent in Firefox: Edit --> Preferences --> Applications tab Then type magnet in the search box. Select qbitorrent as your default application; other wise search for it.

Bonus: If your system lacks gio (GLib2), you can instead set the mime-type handlers via xdg-mime default org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent.desktop where is each of the two types described above. As far as I know, both tools interact with the same internal database at ~/.config/mimeapps.list, but gio is easier to use.

EDIT2: This post details how to make the text editor in VIM handle vim:// urls, perhaps this can be applied to to magnet links. i.e create a desktop shortcut defining a MimeType handler then refreshing the cache. (Can't try right now as I'm using 12.04). _posts/using-console-vim-as-vim-protocol-handler-in-ubuntu

Once you are at one click of the magnet link you want to associate with your bit-torrent program, then you change the network.protocol-handler.expose-all to false. Then click the magnet link. You get a window like this (sorry, this is in spanish):

qBittorrent is a great peer-to-peer client and is what I recommend to people who are into torrent files. However there's a small file association bug that adds some extra steps to using magnetic links that we'll fix here.

qBittorrent is a nice and free peer-to-peer client in the file system super highway of the interweb. You find a file or resource that interests you and click a magnet link. A few minutes later you have a file that may or may not be overflowing with computer melting viruses and trojans (we'll talk about how to deal with that in a later article.)

A minor annoyance with qBittorrent is that sometimes it won't associate with magnetic torrent links. There are two reasons for this and both of them are bugs in 3.1.10 (and probably earlier) versions of qBittorrent.

1. The registry is written wrong for linking magnet file links, browser clicks, and qBittorrent.

2. The setup in qBittorrent is wrong when it comes to linking magnet files, browser clicks, and qBittorrent.

The Magnet links option is broken- it does the opposite what you expect because of the qBittorrent bug. Unselect it and do not say "yes" when qBittorrent asks you if you want to associate magnet links with qBittorrent. If you do, you will in fact unassociate magnet links instead of associating them.

People on this forum I have found quite helpful so I have yet another query that I have attempted to solve myself, but failed. Since I installed Transmission I have found that magnet links are opened with it by default, before this they were opened using qBittorrent. I ran:

Recently I installed BitComet. Now when I click a torrent magnet link from chrome it opens with BitComet though I changed the settings of BitComet to not to be the default program to open magnet links. I couldn't find default magnet link settings in Torrent. I want my default program to open magnet links to be Torrent.I'm using Windows 8.1 and my browser is Chrome, I want to make the default program to open magnet links to be Torrent.

The problem is that windows is missing some registry stuff for magnet links. In most torrent programs, you can check some option to make your program the preferred magnet handler. Checking that option adds the needed registry info. But Deluge doesn't have any such option.

This will result in nothing happening when you click magnet links. The reason it doesn't work, is because there's a few other details that need to go into the magnet subkey in the registry. There's two ways to add those details. The easy way is to just install a modern torrent client like qbittorrent. The necessary registry stuffs will be created. then you can change the registry path so that it points to Deluge insead of QBittorent.

HOW TO FIX Chrome version 63 or higher keeps popping up mod window of "always open these types of links in the associated app" even after clicking - it doesn't remember - bugs chrome -.. 1) Go to search box on your taskbar and type "run"2) In Run, type %appdata% and press OK.3) Press AppData on the top, and go to Navigate to C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences4) Open it with Notepad.5) Press Ctrl+ F and find "protocol_handler":{"excluded_schemes":{}}, and click Find Next.6) Replace that part with "protocol_handler":{"excluded_schemes":{"magnet":false}},?

@stevecook172001 Just so there isn't any confusion you can definitely download magnet links from opera? Im not talking about the download option because sometimes a magnet is the only option available.

Magnet links aren't files and do not rely on trackers. The link includes all the information needed to locate the pieces of the file you want to download. Because of this, magnet links are extremely long.

A magnet link always begins with the prefix magnet:, followed by a cryptographic hash of the exact filename, a display name, several possible tracker locations, and downloads sources for the file pointed to by the Magnet link.

Aside from the problem with out-of-date trackers, Magnet links are considered superior to torrents because they do not require users to download a potentially suspect torrent file to their computers. They also do not rely on a tracker as a central authority. Magnet links are considerably easier to share and can even be pasted into a standard SMS message.

Downloading files using a magnet link couldn't be simpler! Make sure you have a torrent client such as Transmission, qbittorrent, or uTorrent installed on your PC, and just click on the link. Because of its "magnet:" prefix, your client will start downloading immediately.

I see in the qbittorrent settings that I must enable https to be able to use magnet links. Looking at the https setting it appears that all I would need to do is add a self signed certificate to the app. Before I do this I wanted to post and see if this would effect the docker/app in any way?

I found this article which details a method to change the default application for magnet links to qBittorrent. The procedure is used in a Debian-based system but it seems like it should also work as expected in Arch-based systems; possibly with minor variations to syntax. Cheers.

Edit: Solved, sort of.

I had qbittorrent installed from github source code, which make-installs into /usr/local/bin. It worked fine when just typing "qbittorrent" in the terminal, but apparently not for xdg-open for unknown reason.

After I reinstalled qbittorrent via pacman xdg-open worked with it again. What's even weirder is that the qbittorrent it opens IS the github one in /usr/local/bin that it apparently refused in the first place...

If you followed the above steps, then when you double click a torrent file in your file manager, your desired torrent client will fire up. But when you click a magnet link in your Firefox or Google Chrome browser, your old torrent client will open up. We will use gio command line utility to alter the default program for magnet links.

Step to reproduce this:

1) from my local Firefox installation I open a magnet link in "qBittorrentPortable.exe".

2) qBittorrent opens and adds the link.

3) from my browser I try to open another magnet link in "qBittorrentPortable.exe", while qBittorrent is already running.

Result: Firefox can't resolve the address, claiming the magnet protocol isn't installed or has some problems. I also tried with Chrome and it says nothing, but still doesn't open the second magnet if qBittorrent is already running.

Note that I have manually associated the magnet protocol to "qBittorrentPortable.exe" in the windows registry.

I haven't ticked the option "use qBittorrent for magnet links" inside the qBittorrent settings, because that makes the application not portable anymore: it would make me open the magnet link directly in "qBittorrent.exe", skipping the "qBittorrentPortable.exe" launcher.

I'm trying to use the qbittorrent api to download links from magnet links, and I don't seem to remember running into this error before. Feels like it's a recent thing, because this section of my code worked fine before. Here is an example of the code

quick note! I know the link comes from the piratebay, but I was just grabbing a magnet link, it links to wallpapers which are not copyrighted, there is no piracy happening, I just needed a link for an example:

Installed Win 11 on my pc all is fine except with qBittorrent when I click on the magnet download a pop up box appears asking do I allow qBittorrent to download this file I answer yes and tick the box for to use qBittorrent all the time but for some reason the link does not appear in downloading in the torrent list....no problem on my other pc running windows 10?

Hi. I can confirm this behavior with the windows client on win 7 home premium 64 bits.

Adding a magnet when qBittorrent is already running disables DHT for that torrent. Restarting qBittorrent re-enables DHT for all torrents.

Specifying a separate port for DHT helps overall but doesn't solve this issue.

This happens both with magnet links from Firefox 12 and magnet links from the built-in search. Links where provided by BT-Digg.

DHT is not technically disabled for the torrent. Based on my testing, the UI wrongly reports that DHT is disabled for torrents without metadata (i.e. magnet links in initial state) but the number of DHT peers is correctly reported for the torrent (it is not 0) and the metadata does get downloaded. I have fixed the UI bug. However, I don't believe there is any DHT disabling. If you still think there is, please explain. e24fc04721
