joe.ford Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hello, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm trying to use magnet links with Cometbird and Bit Comet, seemed to work fine under the terrible and unstable IE8. just can't seem to get it to work, am I just having a stupid moment or is there a knack to this?

greywizard Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 BitComet doesn't support magnet links yet. It is expected to support them in the next version (v.1.17) though (according to the information we have from the developing team). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe.ford Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) If Bitcomet does not support magnet links, how the h*** did it manage to work with Internet Explorer? Running Bitcomet v 1.16 and Cometbird v 3.5.5 Edited December 14, 2009 by joe.ford (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think there's a disconnect in your understanding. Web browsers and magnet links are entirely independent of, and orthogonal to, each other. A magnet link is a way for bittorrent clients to find other peers also interested in the particular torrent that the magnet link is for. A web browser is useful for finding, but not actually using, a magnet link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
