I am trying to download a file using the bittorrent protocol but I can't get my browser to open the magnet link in my torrent client. I have qbittorrent installed but I still can't seem to download from magnet links.



A little box always shows up asking what application I want to use and there is a button that says "browse" but I can't choose anything.



How can I use such links on Ubuntu?



And when you go to explain, please explain every detail as if you are talking to someone who doesn't know anything about Ubuntu.

  1. Click the torrent link to open which should start the Launch Application window where you should check mark the Remember my choice for magnetic links, and click the Choose... button;
    snap1


  2. Now in the next window that appears you can browse to and select the file /usr/bin/qbittorrent. For this click File System on the side pane and browse through the directories usr -> bin where you'll have to select the executable file qbittorrent to open.



    Or, just click the File System and click the "edit path" icon to type a file name manually (or use the shortcut Ctrl + L);
    snap2


  3. Then in the path input box labelled Location: type the path of the executable of the application - /usr/bin/qbittorrent and click Open;
    snap3


  4. Having the desired launch application selected, now click the OK button. This will start the application qBittorrent and you can continue managing your download from there.
    snap4
