    What problems are you talking about? Do you have this problem with Tixaty?

    @pf100 said it's a Chrome problem and I also have it in Edge (with both μTorrent and qBittorrent).

    EDIT: I reinstalled Windows 11 and now I'm not being asked in Chrome and Edge after clicking a magnet link if I allow the sites in question to open links of that type in the associated app (qBittorrent) after checking their checkboxes to always allow it. Unfortunately, it seems there's no way of not being asked every time I click a magnet link in each site so I always have to check the checkboxes in each site I access. Previously, I was being asked even after checking the checkboxes when opening magnet links in the same sites.

    EDIT 2: qBittorrent still gets stuck fetching metadata from some magnet links. I tried them with other BitTorrent Clients and I still had the same problem or it take a lot of time to finish the task. Unfortunately, what I want to download only has magnet links, not torrent files.
