Description of problem: When clicking a magnet link, an error pops up saying that the magnet handler has died unexpectedly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ktorrent-4.1.1-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Click a magnet link and observe that instead of launching whatever is specified in magnet.protocol, an error pops up that says the magnet handler has died unexpectedly. Actual results: No magnet links work when launched from any application that respects the KDE defaults. Applications where the user can select a helper for magnets (such as Firefox or Opera) work normally, where applications such as Chrome, Chromium, Konqueror, Rekonq, etc. which use KDE's settings or call xdg-open will fail to launch the magnet URN. Expected results: Program specified in magnet.protocol should be launched.
What version of kdebase is this?
kdebase-4.6.95-11.fc15.x86_64
Ryan, can you please check if that other magnet clients do work if they are configured to be launched for magnet links? I just want to make sure if the bug is actually against ktorrent or kdebase.
Ryan, can you please check if the problm persists with the newest kdebase?
Changed the severity to medium becuse the functionality itself (using magnet links) is still given. But I repet: Ryan Farmer, please provide the above requested information.
This problem is no longer an issue. Closing. (Although kio magnet does other irritating things and I question its usefulness, it seems to not have this particular issue anymore.)
