7twenty Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Magnet links aren't recognised. Can't do anything. https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/16884466/Linux_Mint_18.1_(Cinnamon)_(64-bit) It's not related to the program set to open magnet links, MX won't even recognise it for it to get that far.

PHYR Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Point me in the direction of magnets, otherwise try a new UA or retro mode? Edit: or upgrading torrent client??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7twenty Posted June 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 OK, for some background: I've been using the same client for ages with no issues. Other browsers have no issue with the client. UA shouldn't have any affect on this, but doesn't work anyway. Retro mode works. Clearly a bug with the 5.1 core update. This was also noted earlier by a user during the internal test releases.

Yes. Have been testing/using a clean portable version with no userdata imported. Also ABP on/off doesn't make a difference This is the context menu from that link on 5.1.0.1400. All 5.0.4 versions had all options available except "save target as..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that before there was a member reporting the same issue, I'll forward to our tester to see what causes this issue again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXR71 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Please re-enable the Copy Link Address option in the context menu for Magnetic Links. My Torrent client runs on a different pc than where I'm browsing. If there is another way to copy these links, please let me know. This option was available in Mx 5.0.4.1, but is disabled in Mx Beta 5.1.0.1400 A search didn't turn up anything "magnetic". If topic is already covered, I apologize.

DannyD Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I can confirm also, V5.1.0.1400, magnet links aren't working... Pls fix, makes me open another browser just to click the magnet link of the page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LXR71 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I currently use this workaround to copy the magnetic links, in order to use them on another machine: Open the page with details for the torrent (so there is only 1 magnetic link) View Source of page. Find (ctrl-F) "magnet:" Select entire link and copy.. Not that difficult, but much more involved than simply right-clicking and choosing 'copy link address'. Hope it helps somebody.

projektilski Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 you can right click on the supposed link, inspect element and double click on magnet link on the right and then copy paste in favorite torrent downloader. This is just a workaround until this is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: The developer reopens the bug again. The issue is caused by that they only set thunder as the default third party software to open magnet link, so you have grey and unclickable links there, they are fixing the new bug now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
