LXDE Forums

Hi guys.

I've a problem.
I downloaded a Torrent and tried to click on Magnet Link.
It opens a windows with two options: NO ACTIONS or LAUNCH PROGRAM.
If I launch a program, it doesn't open Deluge (my client) but Google Chrome

I can't really solve it, even if I tried everything!
Could someone help me?

Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the lxde forum. I understand that you have a problem but do not understand what that problem is. You are trying to use a torrent download but from there I got lost. What exactly do you want to do and why can't you do it? Unfortunately we cannot see your computer so you have to tell us. Can you open your client (Deluge)? Can you add your seed file to your client? Does the client not continue to download?
This does not sound like an lxde problem but we shall see.

Hi there.

Well, so, I'll try to explain it better!
I can download the .torrent file.
I can open Deluge.
It downloads.

What I can't do is to let Deluge open automatically open when I click on the "magnet" symbol of the Magnet Link.
When I click it (the magnet), appears a windows saying like "The page will open a program to read the file: ABORT or OPEN THE PROGRAM". If I click "OPEN THE PROGRAM" it opens Google Chrome Browser instead of Deluge.
It sounds like it's a problem with Google Chrome's settings, but I can't find the option to tell Chrome to automatically open Deluge when i click on a Magnet Link.

I hope I wrote everything correctly!

Thanks for your helping!

from which browser are you trying to open the magnetic link?
is iceweasel or firefox trying to open the link with chrome?
or is chrome trying to open the link with chrome? that would be extremely weird.

It's Chrome trying to open Chrome for the Magnet Link.
I think I know, now, why: it's because my brother set Chrome as the program to open Magnet Links.
Does someone know how to change this setting in Chrome? I can't find it.
I tought it was a conflict between Deluge and Chrome, but maybe could be just a setting in Chrome...

i just had a quick look at chromium (not chrome) which is the default browser for lubuntu, and could not find anything about default applications.
also the right-click menu is not very helpful.
there's a folder $HOME/.config/chromium with all kinds of interesting stuff - i suggest you sift it through if you can find the default handler and just delete it.
