Description Pablo Rodríguez 2026-02-10 16:53:44 UTC

As described in the issue upstream (https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/8123), transmission 4.1.0 doesn’t accept magnet links.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy the link `magnet:?xt=urn:btih:8e3f4283d1c8360d2f18544a8b166813086675a1&dn=archlinux-2026.02.01-x86_64.iso` to clipboard.
2. Open transmission-gtk and click `ctrl+u`.
3. You will see an error message about unsupported url.
Actual Results:
Unsupported url (because of protocol).

Expected Results:
Magnet links are supported by transmission. 

Additional Information:
Fixes are https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/8277 (for GTK) and https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/8415 (for the command line)for 4.1.x (which will be included in 4.1.1).

Many thanks for having fixed this issue so fast, Gwyn.
