Why Convert Magnet links into Torrent file
There are few reasons to hate magnet links and love .torrent files:
They are slower than torrents file and take more time to fetch meta data.
It is slightly difficult to download specific file via magnet links than torrent file.
You cannot save magnet links to your computer as you can save torrent file for future downloading.
How to Convert Magnet Links into Torrent File
Method 1 : Use utorrent or Vuze ( previously called as azureus)
Download meta-data of any file by using magnet links. After downloading do as following:
For Vuze client:
Press Window+R button from your keyboard and then type this %appdata%\Azureus\ torrents and then copy the torrent file that you wanted it.
Tip: Also if you delete file from vuze, then you can get torrent file in recycle bin.
For uTorrent client:
Open Run by pressing Windows+R button and then type this %appdata%\uTorrent\ and press enter to get torrent files.
Method 2 : Make use of Hash Info
You can copy hash of any individual file which you wanted to download to get your torrent files.
Method 3 : Use magnet2torrent.me to convert magnet links
Magnet2torrent.me and Magnet2torrent.com is free website which converts magnet links into torrent file. You have to just paste magnet link and it will give you an option to download torrent file.

They are not slower in terms of transferring the content of the torrent, that depends on the speed of the peers. They're only slower when starting the torrent. Sometimes it can take a pretty long time to display a list of the torrents content (when there are only a few peers in the swarm). After that, there's no difference between them.

Magnets only take extra time while downloading metadata, when they have downloaded metadata they download the content with same speed as a torrent file of the same torrent do !
And how long downloading of metadata can take, its only a few kbs of data !
So don't misintrepet the info !

Edit Reason: grammar

If you are on Linux, I highly reccomend using rtorrent! Rtorrent utilizes libtorrent, a C++ library which (as mentioned on their main webpage), "[rtorrent is a] BitTorrent implementation focusing on efficiency and scalability."
To convert a magnet link into a torrent in rtorrent, when you are at the prompt in the main CLI UI, simply copy the magnet link, and paste it into the main prompt (as shown at the bottom of the image):
![[Image: sZk63sp.png?1]](http://i.imgur.com/sZk63sp.png?1)
..after you've copied the magnet, simply press enter (to load the torrent), highlight the selected torrent, and start it (via CTRL+S), and thats it!
Ridiculously simple! If you are on Linux, I highly recommend rtorrent--it is certainly my favorite BitTorrent application by far!
BTW, I concur with .::Alien::.--downloading the metadata (the first stage in converting a magnet link), takes only a few seconds for me (at most)!

Those two conversion sites, either will not load in TOR, or take many tens of minutes do so. IF they load, they DO work.
I found this site: http://magnet-to-torrent.com/ and it loads quickly in TOR.

I use Tixati and I have it set to save the corresponding torrent files as everything is downloaded. I use a separate folder so I can load them in bulk to a different machine etc for seeding.
Magnets are simply a hash identifier
