The UnUsual Suspect Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 That's not a torrent it's a magnet URI. You can either copy the link and paste it into bitcomet, or install browser integration so your browser knows how to open magnet links. I'd recommend using Google Chrome or mozilla firefox browser, but if you want to use Internet explorer that will work too. You can install the integration in BitComet>Options>integration, then select which browser you want to use with BitComet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
