[SOLVED] Magnet Link
Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 8:48 am
When I select "Magnet Link" from a torrent site, it opens Transmission in Linux Mint, and then nothing happens. Do I need to install other software?
Is there any reason to use a "Magnet Link" instead of a "Torrent file"? The "Torrent File" works with Transmission.

EDIT:
I decided to add SOLVED to the title because my issues are solved. My problem was caused by not being able to change the location where the files are saved. The interface is confusing (and I suspect it does not work as intended), so other first time users may have the same difficulties, but once understood and set up properly, the problem disappears. I see others are still using the thread, but I do not think their issues are the same.
