A more likely problem is that the servers hosting the web pages containing the download links for the. I don't see how adding magnet links could help with that. One would still have to access the overtaxed Canonical server hosting the web page which contained the magnet link to use the magnet link. Most of you must have come across magnet links at least once in your life. They are most commonly used for downloading torrents from the web which is a popular way to share files.
They are also known as magnet URLs. The reason they are so popular is because you can copy and paste these links in plain text almost anywhere, like mails, text messages, and web. This makes it easier to share files in P2P environment.
Also, there is no need to store bittorrent files on the server. Magnet links are more secure and remove the need to hash individual files in order to protect them against cyber threats. Magnet link will essentially remove the middleman and connect you directly with the source using the hash code. Your torrent client will use this hash code to find peers who are uploading the required files. There is no need to download the torrent file or even the tracker.
This saves bandwidth of the hosting site as well as the users. A win-win situation. Once you click on a magnetic link, Chrome should be able to parse the hash data and open it in your default torrent client.
The problem arises when Chrome refuses to identify the magnet link and returns an error. Click on the Menu icon in any Chrome tab and select Settings. Scroll to the very bottom of the page to find the Advanced button. Click on it to reveal more options.
The first heading should be Privacy and security. Underneath it, you will find Content Settings. Click on it and make sure that the option is toggled on.

Martin, I fail to see how this would help torrific users. The method you mentioned gets the. The title of this post is misleading. It just tells me why magnet links are better.
John with problems to open the magnet links : right-click on the link, copy the adress, open the adress with you bt client. Hope you figured it out :p. I think so yes indeed, the signature of the files are different. How do I do this? I have a file startings magnet:? Because that would be crapware and no use to anyone.

Have only a magnet link need then a. Also I have found a torrent file for a few magnets before a huge site went off line forever. Those had nothing for a long time and with torrent all started and have long ago completed. This was a magnet with no trackers not that it needed any. Best practice remove them before or as you add a magnet link to client.

When magnet links first came out, not all torrent clients supported them, but now you can use magnet links with just about any semi-popular torrent client out there—including our favorites uTorrent, Transmission, and Deluge, among others, so you shouldn't notice a problem with that.
The main reason torrent sites are moving toward magnet links—apart from convenience to the user—is that these links probably free torrent sites like The Pirate Bay from legal trouble.
Since The Pirate Bay won't be hosting files that link to copyrighted content—that is, the torrent files—it's more difficult to claim the site is directly enabling the downloading of copyrighted material. Whether this semantic leap actually protects torrent sites remains to be seen, but for now, you can sleep soundly knowing that the sites will stick around for awhile longer and that your torrents will take one less click to get started.
