Description Rene Horn 2025-05-02 18:59:26 UTC

SUMMARY
When trying to open a magnet link (possibly others, but I've only been able to test with magnet links), KTorrent takes a while before it shows the dialog box for saving the files--sometimes a minute or more.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click a magnet link
2. Wait for a minute or more sometimes to see the dialog box for saving

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no acknowledgement in the GUI in the Torrents section that it is trying to open the link while waiting for the save dialogs.

EXPECTED RESULT
The Torrent section should show that it is trying to open the link--perhaps something link "Waiting for peers for ExampleName.zip" or something.

Oh, wait, I see them now in the window section below the torrents for the magnet links. I think if queued links in there were a different color from downloaded links, that would help.
