When I go to PB, I search for a movie or TV Show, when I click on the magnet link Nothing happens at all!!!!
Has this happened to anyone else???
Can Anyone help me out Please?
I don't understand why this is happening. I used to be able to Dload anything, but now , like I said,
When I search and find what I'm looking for, I click on the file, then click on the Magnet and Nothing happens at all!!!!
Man is it frustrating. I Tried to Uninstall Utorrent, but it doesn't even show up in my Control panel under the programs list to uninstall!
Can Anyone Help me with this?
Thanks,
Lefty

It just means your torrent client isnt properly registering itself with your browser. The easyest fix is to just right click and copy the magnet link, then paste it into your torrent client (look for the add magnet option). I do that for all mine because I cant be arsed to fix it properly.
If you want to try to fix it properly, Id suggest running the installer for your torrent client again. If that doesnt work, it should have at least created the uninstall entry, so uninstall it completely then reinstall it another time. That should work, unless it doesnt.

Which browser ur using? Smells like Chrome
Google Chrome:
Close Chrome
Go to start menu > run
type in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data
Open Local State file with notepad (or any other text editor)
search for "protocol_handler" > "excluded_schemes" > "magnet": true
Change true to false.
Firefox:
1. Open Firefox and type in about:config in the Address Bar and hit Enter.
2. Type in enter handler.expose in the search box at the top of the list.
3. right click - New - Boolean 4. Enter the preference name network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet
5. Set its value to false
6. Click on the magnet link and you should see Firefox’s Launch Application Choose Dialog
7. Select your torrent client.

If the problem is only with Chrome then you may try this:
Go to start menu > run
type in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data
Double click the Local State file
select notepad to open it with notepad
set the read line (the blinking line) to the top by pressing ctrl + home
search for "protocol_handler" by typing in ctrl + f and entering in protocol_handler
find your protocol. it should say "magnet"
delete that entire line and nothing else
restart chrome, and it should be reset

Download some uninstaller program and delete your utorrent with it and install it again.
