car24winsagain Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I have not used BitTorrent in several months. This morning I tried to download a magnet file and nothing happens at all. I do not even get an error message. I tried this from two different sites. I use Google Chrome as my browser and have for the many many magnet files that I have successfully downloaded in the past. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Have you tried other browsers? Have you tried resetting magnet associations in the browser settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyEdwards Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 If the problem is only with Chrome then you may try this: Go to start menu > run type in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data Double click the Local State file select notepad to open it with notepad set the read line (the blinking line) to the top by pressing ctrl + home search for "protocol_handler" by typing in ctrl + f and entering in protocol_handler find your protocol. it should say "magnet" delete that entire line and nothing else restart chrome, and it should be reset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
