Jellybbz Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 When I click the magnet link, nothing happens. It stopped working suddenly, like one day I was able to download, and the next I was not. No new window opens, nothing. I've tried reinstalling BitTorrent, I've tried updating chrome, I've tried everything I can think of, and nothing is working. Any ideas?

Harold Feit Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 How far does it get? Does chrome lose focus to another window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybbz Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Not that I can tell, just nothing happens. The link doesn't open at all when I click on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Have you tried with other browsers yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybbz Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Tried with IE, worked but was very slow to load, as expected I just kinda hoped to fix it on chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 You may need to reset the magnet association in chrome https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chrome/CZZgyVGccYY/B5XEO0A5VOAJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybbz Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Tried that, theres no magnet section in my local file, and I tried adding it and saving it, but when i reopened it, there was no magnet bit again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluticasone Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Follow the instructions given in the link (be sure to have chrome closed when you do so), but if there is no 'magnet' under the protocol, simply add it in exactly as it's highlighted below "protocol_handler": { "excluded_schemes": { "afp": true, "data": true, "disk": true, "disks": true, "file": true, "hcp": true, "javascript": true, "magnet": false, "mailto": false, "ms-help": true, "news": false, "nntp": true, "shell": true, "snews": false, "vbscript": true, "view-source": true, "vnd": { "ms": { "radio": true I did this, saved it, and when I opened Chrome again,the magnets worked!

Jellybbz Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Put that in, it's stayed this time, but still not letting me download on chrome. This time a popup came up along to the top though, saying my browser doesnt support fast downloads - i clicked the link of that a few days back when that appeared before (it hasnt done so again until now) and it gave me a load of viruses and ads on my browser that I had to spend hours fixing. Not sure what else I can do tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
