I was wondering if could be possible to add support for magnet links in KGet. I know I could use KTorrent but it's too complicated and heavy for me, and I use KGet for my downloads with rekonq (I don't think it's a good idea to have KGet for downloading files and torrents at one side, and a heavy and overcomplicated KTorrent just for magnet links). Somewhere I read about a python script to convert magnet links to .torrent files for downloading them with KGet, but it didn't worked for me. Maybe an extension for KGet would be awesome.

Reproducible: Always
