Magnet torrent client

Hello Guys

I have been trying to download a torrent file using magnet links and for the life of me I can;t figure this out :-(

I am sure that I must be missing something as this seems somewhat complicated, I tried following the information in the below link but got now joy.
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=245202

I have vuze and qbittorrent installed browser that I am using is firefox 10.0.2 running on Fedora 14 x64

Any advice would be great.

Cheers team

Stu

Re: Magnet torrent client

I think most do now, could be that you are running Fedora 14. You may need to grab the latest version of Vuze from the main site.

Re: Magnet torrent client

Hello YeOK and leigh123linux

Thanks for helping out here.

I would seem that with my messing around within the (about:config) area in firefox on my regular account I may have messed things up. To test I created a fresh account and run through the steps in the link I attached in my first post. Surprise surprise it worked :-)

I will now try and figure out how to set firefox back to defaults or atleast remove the entried that I added into the about:config area,

Have a good weekend guys and thanks again

Stu
