How do I use Magnet URI?
A magnet link is a type of hyperlink that uses a P2P file sharing network (such as BitTorrent) to download files. Usage is described below:
- Install a torrent client: Downloading magnet link files requires the installation of a torrent client such as uTorrent, BitTorrent and qBittorrent.
- Clicking on magnet links: After installing a torrent client, clicking on a magnet link will automatically open the torrent client and start the download.
- Waiting for the download to complete: the download time depends on the file size and network speed, the torrent client will show the download progress and the estimated remaining time.
- Seeding: Once the download is complete, it is recommended to continue seeding for a period of time to help distribute to other users on the P2P network. This helps keep the network functioning properly and ensures that the file is available to others.
Note: Magnet URI can only be used to download files from P2P networks, not directly from websites.
