(SOLVED) Choose an Application - finding the path

[mister_playb]

Hi,

i try to download a torrent using a magnet-link. My default torrent client is deluge. When i click the magnet-link, a get a pop-up to use deluge or to choose an application. How do i select deluge, what is the path after i click the choose an application button?

Thanks.

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).

How is this solved? I have exactly the same issue: Transmission is set up as my default for Torrent files, but for Magnet links it is not, and I don't have an option to select it. I don't think whoever marked this as solved understood properly the issue. Torrent files and Magnet links are different things!

To spell it out in another way, when I right-click on a magnet link I don't get an option to change the program it will open with. I only get the same box as the OP when I left-click the magnet link.

Managed to find the answer elsewhere - anyone else having this issue needs to find their torrent application in /usr/bin/
