Magnet link window bug

[[e-mail]]

When opening a magnet link in ktorrent there is a delay before ktorrent opens the window asking where to download the files. This delay can be as large as a day and is extremely annoying.

When starting ktorrent from the console, the following error message is displayed:
""
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work

I have problems with this feature as well.

After searching a bit online, I am pretty sure that this is actually the problem upstream,
and that it is already fixed:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303269

In short it is about ktorrent taking just the first of the trackers in the magnet link,
and it tends to be a slow tracker that times out, so you have to wait a lot.
With a little tampering you can go around this - use "open url", than paste the
magnet link, and delete some of the trackers in the url (they start with &tr=).
You add the same link several times with different trackers deleted (leave
just one) until it works. At the bottom of the screen you can find a "Magnet"
button that gives you the list of magnet links being processed.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
