SUMMARY When I click on a magnet link, I get the usual dialogue box in Ktorrent with the link showing and then click on 'OK', after that, nothing happens. I expect Ktorrent to show me another window with a list of the contents of the torrent. It does not. I have tried using different browsers, Firefox & Chrome and I get the same result - Ktorrent doesn't handle the magnet link properly. I have even tried it on different computers running the same desktop and version of Ktorrent, I get the same result. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. After opening Ktorrent & a browser, open a torrent sharing site (I used TPB) 2. Left click on a magnet link 3. Ktorrent opens the first part, which is the magnet link, click on 'OK' 4. Nothing happens OR 1. After opening Ktorrent & a browser, open a torrent sharing site (I used TPB) 2. Right click on a magnet link 3. Select 'Copy link location' 4.
