sscsr1 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I did a clean install of windows 10 and all my software a few weeks back and all went well. The only thing that it working differently is chrome. I have the latest version. Every time I click to download a torrent chrome prompts me with a drop down window asking to " open deluge BitTorrent Client" . This only happens in chrome and only on magnet links. Has anyone else had this experience and did you find a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky19 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Try to download and install torrent client that suit your needs, that will re-associate default program for torrent files and magnet links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done that and even used the associate magnet links option in deluge but it still happens. So weird. Can't find much on google about it either. 2 hours ago, TrojanK said: What happens in other browsers? I also use Firefox and everything works normally ( no prompts) just opens torrent in client.

Kalju Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 @sscsr1 You can open torrent links using torrent download programs or a standard web browser if you have the appropriate extension installed. When Chrome opens on your computer, it means one of the following three you don't know how torrent links are used and what is a magneticlink Your browser user profile is damaged your default browser is set to Google Chrome and you simply click on the magnetic link (magnetlinks are not used by this method, they are not normal web browser links) If You really think, You must install some of Deluge extension, go here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/deluge PS! I don't recommend to install any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep that as an option if this really starts to bug me and the problem continues. 56 minutes ago, TrojanK said: Yes. https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/14194567 That is exactly what is happening. Thank you for the links. I have been reading them but I am afraid that it's a little over my head. But I will keep plugging away at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
