Title: ThePirateBay
Post by: Mecajesus on February 27, 2012, 08:29 am
I've noticed the Pirate Bay started using Magnet links, which i can't open.

What do i need to do to open the links? I know it involves DHT and all that.

I've done some research and none of it seemed helpful to my problem.

I don't know if this helps but I use Miro and it works fine for me:

I use Vuze and i hadn't had a problem until about two weeks ago.

Now everytime when i try to download something i get this error.

"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (magnet) isn't associated with any program."

Open the magnet links with uTorrent.  Works like a charm

Yep, uTorrent works perfect for me still. Give it a try! :D
