Does anybody here use Deluge? How do you get magnet links to work? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm currently on the Imac using Deluge as my preferred client - it just seems so much faster than (say) Transmission, which has recently been struggling to connect to other pirates on the high seas.

The only problem is: Deluge appears to have issues with magnet links. Although the client will open when you click a magnet, the link doesn't automatically get added to the downloads. So you have to manually enter each magnet link.

Is there anyway around this? I'd appreciate detailed instructions if possible (or a link to a video and/or article explaining what to do).

thanks

All you have to do is click the add button on the pop-up after opening a magnet link. The popup window in Dekuge may sometimes be blank at first, but you can click add before it populates and it still works.

IDK if there's a way to get it to skip that part and just start downloading after opening the link, but if there is and someone else knows I'd like to know, too.

Thanks for the quick reply, but that doesn't work for me (there is no popup on my end).

I recon your browser is trying to open the link in a different app

It doesn't appear to be a browser issue - same thing happens irrespective of browser

I assume it's because of how your computer deals with them in that case. Is there a way to reset permissions for magnet links?

I'm not sure.
