What Are Magnet Links?

Magnet links are the most important part of a torrent. They connect your browser, the torrent website, and your torrent client. With one click, magnet links let you download any torrent you want.

Magnet links save bandwidth for the torrent sites and also save the user’s time and storage space. Most torrent sites use magnet links because they are the best way to download torrents.

A magnet link looks like a tiny magnet icon. You’ve probably seen one when you visited a torrent website. All browsers allow magnet links by default, but if you can’t use them, check your browser settings under Privacy or Security and enable magnet links.

Sometimes, magnet links might be under Handlers, so allow this option just to be safe. This is a general tip since different web browsers may have different settings.

How to Add a Magnet Link to uTorrent

Adding magnet links to uTorrent is easy. It’s like downloading files in uTorrent because once you enter the magnet link and confirm, the torrent will start downloading immediately. Follow these steps:

1. Download uTorrent from the official website or update it to the latest version. It’s important to have the latest update for the program to work properly.
2. Open uTorrent on your device.
3. Click on the Add Torrent from URL icon next to the plus (+) sign.
4. Enter the magnet link for the torrent you want to download. You can get it from your favorite torrent site. Right-click the magnet link and copy the link address. When you paste the link, click OK to confirm.
5. A new window called Add New Torrent will appear. Here, you can choose the download destination and exclude any files if needed. When you’re done, click OK.
   

After that, your torrent will start downloading right away.

The Easier Method

Although adding magnet links to uTorrent is simple, there’s an even easier method you can use. The method is clicking on magnet links directly from your browser. This will prompt you to open your dedicated bit torrent client, like uTorrent.

Then, you can choose the download destination and the files you want to download from the torrent, and the download will start. Just follow these steps:

1. Open a torrent website, like the Pirate Bay. It’s just an example, but generally, the Pirate Bay has the best interface. It’s also the most used torrent website, so it results in faster download speeds.
2. Find the torrent you want to download. You can click on the magnet link below it right away, as shown below.
3. Or you can click on the torrent name and click on Get This Torrent on the next window.
   
4. Both options have the same result. Your browser will prompt you to open uTorrent. Click on it.
5. Then, uTorrent will open, and you can choose the download location and files. When you’re done, click OK, and your torrent will start downloading.

Stay Safe

Remember to always use a VPN (virtual private network) service when downloading torrents. All torrents are illegal because they don’t follow copyright laws. If you don’t use a VPN, you can get into serious trouble and may have to pay a large fine.

There are many VPN services available, but ExpressVPN is probably the best. It’s inexpensive, reliable, safe, and fast. You can use it for torrenting on multiple devices, such as tablets, laptops, desktops, smartphones, and more.

If you don’t want an external VPN service, you can also get the premium uTorrent deal with a built-in VPN. Check it out on their official website. There’s also an ad-free version of uTorrent. The free version works just fine as long as you have a VPN running on all your devices.

Convenience Above Everything

Magnet links are very simple and convenient. They allow us to download torrents easily, without any hassle. What’s your preferred way of using them? Do you add them directly to uTorrent, or do you click on them in your browser and start downloading right away?

In the end, it mostly comes down to personal preference. I’ve been using the browser method for years, and it works best for me. Maybe you’ll prefer adding magnet links to uTorrent. Either way, let us know your opinion in the comments below, and remember to always use a VPN with uTorrent.
