Description Zach 2014-03-16 23:37:48 UTC

When trying to open magnet link in Rekonq, I get the error message:
"rekonq does not know how to handle this protocol: magnet"

There appears to be no way to resolve this.

What should rekonq have done instead?
Can you open magnet links in other applications on your machine? If so, which applications? If you open it with kde-open, does it open in the correct application?
For testing purposes, could you please post a magnet link here. Thank you!

After a fresh install of Kubuntu 14.04, magnet links work again.  Closing.
