Magnet Links
« on: January 12, 2010, 05:59:48 PM »
Hi all,
I try to download  Magnet Links from [a website that we don't want to advertise]
When i paste the links and press commit it says that it cannot convert the magnet link to ed2k link.
I have noticed that the structure of the link is different form the ones in http://www.amule.org/.
Deluge handles those links fine.

I am using Ubuntu/9.10 aMule 2.2.6

Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you

These files are only for the bittorrent network. aMule doesn't support this network and thus doesn't understand the link format. (Only magnet links leading to an eD2k file are supported, iirc.)

Please use Deluge, Transmission or another bittorrent client to download these files.
