qBittorrent: how to add a torrent using it's hash?

I did try to Use "add torrent link" pasting

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:INFOHASH (where the INFOHASH is the hash number)

But the hash appear like 00000000000000000

Any idea how to add a torrent from the hash ?

Try magnet:?xt=urn:btih:00000000000000000 where 00000000000000000 is the hash. Or did you try this and it put it as zeros? – NetworkKingPin – 2016-06-14T04:23:00.113

I tried that one: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:f113c4f0eb3e8dde4edf42a2e1f3a952 – Lisa – 2016-06-14T04:31:29.330

Have you tried adding a magnet link and just adding the hash? if not you could use this link to convert the Hash to a magnet link.

1Added qbittorrent for you. And are you sure you have the correct hash? – NetworkKingPin – 2016-06-14T07:43:15.027

Does this happen for any torrent? If its a legitimate download - like a linux livecd, the link might help. – Journeyman Geek – 2016-06-14T08:23:50.673

I know why it did not work: the torrent page and hash was fake. I tried several others coming from other torrent db and they worked. It was confusing because the page was an exact copy of the kat page, showing seeds, torrent quality, etc. but it was a fake. So I least I know that magnet:?xt=urn:btih:HASH work, and the 0000000 shows when the torrent doesn't exist. I apologize, i should have check the website before making my tests. – Lisa – 2016-06-14T09:56:29.897

2The hexencoded infohash in the example (magnet:?xt=urn:btih:f113c4f0eb3e8dde4edf42a2e1f3a952) is only 32 characters long. It should be 40. That's why it didn't work. – Encombe – 2016-06-17T06:42:00.657
