Magnet link through WebUI?

[dudenamedsteve]

I'm running Transmission-Daemon on a headless ubuntu 9.04 server, and I must say, it freaking rocks. Lately i've noticed some problems getting .torrent files or even getting links them to work on some trackers, but the Magnet links still work. Is there anyway to load a magnet link through the WebUI? I've tried pasting the magnet link in the url upload box, but it doesn't seem to work. Am i missing something, or is this function not yet a reality? I can still SSH into the box, is there anyway to load the magnet link into the daemon manually, like "transmission-remote -a <magnet link>?

Thanks in advance.

I had a look at the new feature for magnet-links and it works for me.

there is only one thing to consider when adding magnet-links over webinterface or rpc: the two strings after dn= and tr= have to be url-encoded.

Hi,

I've just installed transmission on a headless server too, and after many, many attempts, I haven't been able to add a magnet link to the webinterface. Is there anything special to do or to activate. If it can't be done on the webinterface, can it be done through transmission-remote or transmissioncli ?

You are posting on a 7 month old thread, not a good idea.

Magnet links work fine on the Web client, just copy the link on your browser ("Copy Link Location" on Firefox for example), and paste it on the "Or enter an URL" text field.

If it still doesn't work... then you may have a very old version of transmission.

It was indeed an old version. Silly I didn't check that first..
