Does anybody here use Deluge? How do you get magnet links to work? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm currently on the Imac using Deluge as my preferred client - it just seems so much faster than (say) Transmission, which has recently been struggling to connect to other pirates on the high seas.

The only problem is: Deluge appears to have issues with magnet links. Although the client will open when you click a magnet, the link doesn't automatically get added to the downloads. So you have to manually enter each magnet link.

Is there anyway around this? I'd appreciate detailed instructions if possible (or a link to a video and/or article explaining what to do).

thanks

Thanks, that appears to be the right app or plugin, but Mac won't let me install it (too old for my current OS and/or can't verify if its safe). Thanks, though.

I’ve always used qBittorrent no matter the OS. They have Windows, macOS and Linux versions. Though I haven’t had a Mac as a main computer in a couple years, so take my knowledge of how well it works currently with a grain of salt.
