Magnet links are dead simple to use. If you head to the Pirate Bay now, you'll notice that magnet links are now the default, with the "Get Torrent File" link in parentheses next to it a link which will disappear in a month or so. Just click on the magnet link, and your browser should automatically open up your default BitTorrent client and start downloading. It's that easy. The short answer is nothing.
In fact, it could mean that downloading torrents takes one or two fewer clicks, since all you have to do is click on the link to start the download. When magnet links first came out, not all torrent clients supported them, but now you can use magnet links with just about any semi-popular torrent client out there—including our favorites uTorrent , Transmission , and Deluge , among others, so you shouldn't notice a problem with that.
