Want to download torrents but downloading a .torrent record first? You can do it with Magnet links, that have been upheld in a garland of vital swell clients, together with uTorrent and Vuze (formerly well known as Azureus). Instead of regulating a .torrent file, the magnet custom uses DHT and the torrent’s hash, so you’ve radically got a torrentless torrent. Magnet links can be wily to find, but a latest Firefox appendage called Magnetiser lets you lift them from Torrentz or isoHunt.

With Magnetiser installed, go to any swell item page and click the “magnetise” symbol in your toolbar. You should be stirred to collect a swell customer that supports magnet links, and afterwards your download will start. As TorrentFreak points out, this is flattering cool when a .torrent record has been removed, but Torrentz or isoHunt still have the crush data. You can supplement trackers to Magnetise manually, but it comes preloaded with the many commonly-used trackers, so it should work right out of the box.

Magnetise isn’t up on the Mozilla appendage index yet, but TorrentFreak has related to the .xpi file, that you can download and draw towards to Firefox to install.
