Description james 2013-02-03 00:10:44 UTC
when i click a magnet link with ktorrent i get a warning that DHT is turned off and ktorrent would work more efficiently if it were turned on. nothing happens after that. went in and turned on DHT and clicked magnet link, ktorrent wouldnt even acknowledge that i had clicked the link. nothing was added to downloads.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open ktorrent and a web page with magnet links
2.click link
3. wait for nothing to happen
Actual Results:  
when i click a magnet link nothing happens if DHT is on, if its off i just get warning telling me its off

Expected Results:  
on a previous install of Fedora 17 some magnet links would open sluggishly most opened immediately. i would expect immediate response with an acceptable wait time of up to maybe 10 seconds to get info/data? 

ktorrent is an awesome application and i love using it. please help us to make this a better application. if there is more info i can add please dont hesitate to email me and ask. if need be i will even upload a video to youtube if that will assist anyone with anything.

i have checked ktorrent kf5 sources and the magnet link mimetype is already added there. please test ktorrent for kde5 frameworks
