right-click on a torrent file, click on properties, click on the "open with" tab. is deluge listed there? if so, select it to be your default. if not, click on "add", click on "use custom command", insert /usr/bin/deluge and click add.

with the normal torrent file i have deluge as my standard torrent client selected, so if i double click a torrent file deluge will pop up. but with the magnet link that piratebay uses, there is no torrent file to save on the computer, you just click the magnet-link, and the windows pops up (see foto).
