chromiumktorrenttransmission
for the moment I'm downloading torrents via magnet sing Transmission, when the first time I was asked by chromium to open the magnet URL, I choosed Transmission and I checked the Remember my choice for all links of this type.
Now I want to change the default torrent program for Magnet URL I want to open them using KTorrent.
How can I do that ?
In 12.04 and 13.04, deluge does include x-scheme-handler/magnet=deluge.desktop;
in the desktop file. In my case, transmission was still opening magnet links. I had to tell gvfs-open preferring deluge with:
gvfs-mime --set x-scheme-handler/magnet deluge.desktop
gvfs-mime was deprecated and 'gio mime' used instead:
gio mime x-scheme-handler/magnet deluge.desktop
If you are using a router, make sure that the port used by Transmission for incoming connections is opened in your router (NAT port forwarding). As the other clients are faster, I suspect that they use a port that is already opened in your router.
In Transmission go to Edit > Preferences > Network and set the same port as in the other clients, and disable "Pick a random port every time Transmission is started". You can use the "Test Port" to see whether the chosen port is open.
It's also possible that your router is configured to accept UPnP or NAT-PMP port forwarding requests. If that is the case, you could enable the "Use UPnP or NAT-PMP port forwarding from my router" checkbox (instead of setting the port and opening it in the router manually).

A few things from this thread:
Chromium - or any other browser - doesn't choose which application to use for launching any external application. It relies on the OS for that.
You can use
gvfs-mimeto reconfigure it again if you need to change your previous settinggvfs-mime --set x-scheme-handler/magnet KTorrent.desktopNB: KTorrent must be available. For me I use deluge so my command uses
deluge.desktopwhich was available in/usr/share/applications/Hope this helps out.
