      I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I download with Torrent Magnet the site closes.
      I believe this doesn't just happen with torrent sites, but with any site that needs to open an external app.

      I already reinstalled Opera, but the problem persists.

        @kurosaki225 Seems to be a new behavior, according to the changelog:

        DNA-106639 Close tabs created for opening external apps

          @leocg I understand, but the problem is that this way I will need to open the site numerous times when downloading more than one magnet link.

          Is there any way to disable this?

              Problem solved (Update the Opera first).

              Just go to "settings", "User interface" and uncheck "Automatically close tabs used to open external applications".

              Done.
