Since recently magnet links (from both Chrome and IE) don't launch in uTorrent as expected.
It used to work, and I have no clue what broke it.
When I click a magnet link in the browser, nothing just happens.
I uninstalled uTorrent (and removed all leftovers from Program Files and registry) then reinstalled new version (also tried beta version) and it didn't solve the problem.
I also checked the settings and uTorrent is set to default association for torrent files:
Here's the post I submitted on their forum should you feel to share some info.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling uTorrent? doesn't sound like a browser issue if the problem spans multiple browsers. – MDMoore313 – 2013-01-31T01:27:10.493
Nops. That didn't work. I even erased all the settings. – Shimmy – 2013-01-31T03:11:38.710
Facing same issue here, its a bugger – kindrudekid – 2013-01-31T17:16:54.870
@kindrudekid Do you think it might be a bug in the latest uTorrent version? – Shimmy – 2013-01-31T21:08:42.607
Check the uTorrent forum for recent bug reports about the same thing. Also try running uTorrent as admin and restoring the magnet link association via Preferences. – Karan – 2013-02-01T04:22:38.967
@Shimmy Yes i think so its annoying as hell! – kindrudekid – 2013-02-05T16:40:05.580
I have the same problem, but it isn't uTorrent's fault. If I copy a magnet: link and paste it into Start->Run, it opens up uTorrent just fine. It's only Chrome that seems to have no idea what to do with magnet: links. – aalaap – 2014-03-13T18:25:46.373
