<![CDATA["opera was unable to open the link since no application associated with magnet protocol was found"]]>Magnet links work on all other browsers. Tried adding magnet to the exclusions in the Local State file, but that didn't change anything. Using Opera 20.

Help.

AFAIK, with Vuze, there's a bug. Even when Vuze is correctly set to handle the magnet protocol in the registry it doesn't work. I think Chrome has the same bug.

I reported it as DNA-14953 already.

I really don't know how I can be any clearer at this point.

DVK--the registry solution doesn't explain why magnet links work in EVERY OTHER browser, does it?

And I apologize for being a dick. I know all of you are only trying to help. But it's very frustrating when I'm very clear what I'm doing and people keep saying "Why don't you try this?" when I've stated--more than once--that I AM doing that.

So, one last time.

FILE ASSOCIATIONS ARE SET.

MAGNET LINKS ARE ENABLED.

MAGNET LINKS OPEN IN ALL OTHER BROWSERS.

NO MAGNET LINKS WORK. I HAVE TRIED DOZENS.

OK?

Unknown Protocol
Opera was unable to open the link since no application associated with "denied:" protocol was found on your system.

Below that message I get a button from Opera that says "Deny" and it's all I can click.

OTHER magnet links on other websites DO work though. So maybe check that the magnet link being posted in this thread is good.

Just to check: the exclusion list in Local State should have, "magnet": false
Check the registry entries. Shoud be like this. Note that an existing and empty "URL Protocol" value is required.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Magnet
@="Magnet URI"
"URL Protocol"=""
"Content Type"="application/x-magnet"

I've got μTorrent and magnet links work fine. As a last-resort solution you could try and install μTorrent just to set the association right and then change it to use Vuze in Registry.

And once again, that is a lie. It's associated with Vuze. I've checked multiple times.

Does anyone from Opera ever look at these forums? Help?

Which makes it pretty clear that I've established the file associations for magnet links. I'm not going to change the association from Vuze to Opera because I don't want to download torrents with Opera, I just want to open the magnet link. Once again, IT WORKS IN EVERY OTHER BROWSER I USE.

If you don't have any ideas how to do that, it's OK. But I feel like we're just wasting each others' time. I'm not a power user, but I'm not a newbie. I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do. It's not working. The fact that there's no clear way to set Opera to open a magnet link IS NOT USER ERROR.

Sorry, but it's honestly less frustrating just cutting and pasting the link than it is getting advice from someone who's not paying attention to what I say.

I did NOT get the prompt to open with the associated program that they received.

Do you have one? Try setting it on your OS.

I did NOT get the prompt to open with the associated program that they received.

But I've pretty much given up at this point. If it gets too annoying, I'll just switch back to Chrome.

I try that link and I get the same message.

So it seems that Opera uses the default program to handle magnet links.

Every link I've tried

And there is at least one that you can post here?

How do you set magnet associations for Opera?

On Opera Blink (Opera 15+) there is no way to do that. But if a program is associated to the protocol, Opera will use it afaik.

Edit: i've tried this magnet link from Wikipedia and Opera showed a dialog asking me if i wanted to open the program associated to magnet links.

How do you set magnet associations for Opera? It's been awhile since I used it, but it seems like there are fewer options in preferences. There's no "program" section, for example. I know you used to do it there.
