Link won't download torrent

[Beaker14]

So...I've been around the torrent world for a while. So I'm sure my question will sound very newbie, and have an easy answer.

When I click on the "Get This Torrent" link, nothing happens. Nothing. 

Any thoughts?

Not a site issue as magnet links are handled entirely within the realm of your computer.

If nothing is happening, it is because your browser isn't configured to pass magnet links to your torrent client.

Many torrent clients have something in the settings to set the client as the default handler for magnet links, and most of the popular browsers usually ask the first time you click on one.

If you search the name of your browser along with magnet links you should find a number of guides on getting your browser to properly handle magnet links.

OK...thanks for this. Although PB would be my first choice for torrents, I've not had this problem with other sites.

I'll try some things...thanks.

When I click on the magnet links nothing happens, I am using bitlord client to download yet nothing happens?

Web browsers don't know what to do with magnet links until you tell them.

The easiest way is to look for an option in the settings within BitLord to "associate with magnet links" or something along those lines. That will cause BitLord to tell your web browser what to do.

Here is a spin. When I try to download a movie the next page opens about the movie, then a green link to download and a green link to stream/play. I can not use the download link as it does nothing but when I hit the stream/play a site opens to download Bitlord. I was using uTorrent for many years on many browsers so it is not that I have to tell my browser what to do. It is the PB site not allowing magnet download through uTorrent and only allows default stream using the Bitlord to download.

You are experiencing the same thing as I have been lately. If you refresh the page (maybe more that once), you should be able to click on the 'get this torrent'.

Not sure what is causing it. I think it's an invisible window/ad that covers parts of the screen. Maybe related to adblock. IDK. But it's super fucking annoying.

I'm having the same issue where you describe that half the page isn't clickable. I would refresh once, to no avail.

My workaround is to click into the clink, read what I need to, back out of the link, then click the magnet from the search results page. Thought it was just my computer...
