Magnet links are broken in new version


Recommended Posts

Hello.

In new version (7.3.1.3600, maybe some before that) with added "enhanced downloading", normal links handling was broken.

In older versions (and in all other browsers!) clicking on magnet link opens associated program in windows, i.e. utorrent etc.

Now messagebox "Please enable enhanced download" pops up blocking normal handling. And no, I don't need to enable some feature I don't need, plus I doubt it will open my associated program anyway.

If you really want to show this message to promote your Bright feature, it should be shown ONLY if windows was not able to handle it itself.

P.S. state of Maxthon development is outright terrible. Each version (both PC & Android) adds serious bugs. No reaction or communication on forums. What's next, full-screen AD popups?

The Magnet problem has already been noted. The devs have said it is being fixed.

Thank you for the response. Where is it noted though? In some internal bug tracker?
I can understand not wanting to open it to the public, but please consider creating Known Issues page/section in release notes then. It is really helpful to know state of such things.
