I have the same issue. Didn't matter which version of BitTorrent I used .Chrome, Windows 8, Security Essentials, no Firewall. 

 

Problem: I had this problem too, apparently when you use split screen, the "Bittorrent" "remembers" where the accept dialog were last time so when you open a new torrent after rebooting in another screen it fails on pop-ing it up so its automatically saves to the "Hidden"  label, sometimes not downloading it and doing a lot of problems...

Solution: All you have to do is simply drag your "Bittorrent" to the other screen and try to use magnet link again, this time dialog will appear and you can easily accept and it will work.

Prevent: Don't move the dialog to another screen without the main window, move them together.

I've been having the same trouble for near two weeks now as well. It still won't let me start new downloads. The above solution states to drag your bittorrent to the other screen. I have only had one screen the entire time so I'm not sure if that is an accurate solution.

 

Unless you have another meaning behind what you are saying?

Thanks bugmenot. I also recently changed my monitors around, literally switched them over, nothing else and soon after I found that my torrents were not opening in bittorrent. I tried what you suggested, deleting the settings file but that didnt help. Alls I did to fix it was to make my other monitor the main screen rather than the extended screen and it worked.
