Hope this helps if anyone can't get magnet links to behave.V1.8.0 2022.9.5 New Feature: support the cloud service for remote connection, to let BitComet Mobile APP connects to the desktop edition of BitComet behind NAT/Firewall with end-to-end encryption. Mine has one value, the default, which is set to: "C:\Program Files\qBittorrent\qbittorrent.exe",1 You can see there's also a "Default icon" key, I'm not sure if this is needed. Out of laziness I'll just screenshot these: The other way is to manually add the missing items. then you can change the registry path so that it points to Deluge insead of QBittorent. The necessary registry stuffs will be created. The easy way is to just install a modern torrent client like qbittorrent. The reason it doesn't work, is because there's a few other details that need to go into the magnet subkey in the registry.

This will result in nothing happening when you click magnet links. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Deluge\deluge.exe" "%1" Where you might get frustrated is if you try to just add that key manually like this: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Magnet\shell\open\command The earlier answer with a registry fix is mostly correct. Checking that option adds the needed registry info. In most torrent programs, you can check some option to make your program the preferred magnet handler. The problem is that windows is missing some registry stuff for magnet links. Windows wants you to choose a magnet handler through a specific options screen, "Choose a default app for each protocol". Which I think they stopped updating in 2017. Late answer, but this may help people specifically trying to use Deluge in Windows.
