whirlybird Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I have just installed Windows 8.1 since that installation I have not been able to download a magnet torrent. I was using Windows 7 and had no issues, I could just click on a magnet torrent and it would automatically open in Bit Torrent. I am using Webroot Secure Anywhere, I have disabled that and it still will not allow me to download a magnet torrent.Thanks in advance for any help you could give this newbie.......
