I did the notepad registry, but it didn’t work… when I open a magnet link from thepiratebay it sends me to an error:
File not found
Firefox can’t find the file at magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c137daabc3f626cfd589c427c6f86556a1156e70&dn=The+Big+Bang+Theory+S05E24+HDTV+x264-LOL+[eztv]&tr=udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80&tr=udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80&tr=udp://tracker.ccc.de:80.

I was using a different tixati before this problem, but it was super slow so I changed to utorrent and this started to happen…
Please help

Dragging the link onto Vuze from Chrome worked. Doesn’t permanently change how chrome handles these links but its easy enough to remember to drag them in…

try dragging the link from the website and into transmission, like if you were to drag a pic from website to your desktop to save it on your computer… I have literally never bothered with magnet links bc i couldnt figure them out.

the code for windows is not correct. its misssing backslashes the correct code is

REGEDIT4[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMagnet]@=”URL:Magnet Protocol”"URL Protocol”=”"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMagnetshell][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMagnetshellopen][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMagnetshellopencommand]@=”"C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe” “%1″”

Ex:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesmagnetshellopencommand
edit:C:Program Files (x86)uTorrentutorrent.exe %1
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesmagnetDefaultIcon
edit: C:Program Files (x86)uTorrentutorrent.exe

The solution in Windows 7 is to edit the registry entry for magnet links. Open regedit and change the value of HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesmagnetshellopencommand to match the program you want to use to open magnet links, the associated icon is defined in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesmagnetDefaultIcon
