Had a brainwave and looked for magnet in Ktorrent .desktop files. No such line exists in any of them. Clicking on a magnet link still starts Ktorrent. To be exact, it first starts a pop-up window labelled "Examining", and immediately after I get a Ktorrent error dialogue complaining about not having access to a port (because QBT is sitting on it of course). I don't know if "Examining" is part of Ktorrent or not since it gives no other indication. > that's it. not too hard was it? :) I'm going to go with 'yes, it is'. poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
