The magnet link does not work in Debian Squeeze, I have asked this one before and the advice I got completely wiped out my system!
There must be an easy way to over come this, when Magnet is click, it does not give the application choice , or selection, it goes to the File manager!
The deluge I am using is version 1.2.3!

Your browser pops up the file manager to choose the application to run... e.g. /usr/bin/deluge

Hi Cas, this from Debian forum, which caters for Gnome, but I use KDE;
$ gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/command "transmission %s"
$ gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/needs_terminal false -t bool
$ gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/enabled true
is the equivalant for KDE?
Thanking you

I have no idea for KDE but what you have posted is exactly the same as in our FAQ except that it's for transmission.
What browser are you using?
