    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 (in 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 [I'm not also being asked in Chrome and Edge if using μTorrent]) 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 with other BitTorrent Clients and I still had the same problem or it takes a lot of time to finish the task. Unfortunately, what I want to download only has magnet links, not torrent files.
