Sometimes the message associated with your error will say, “this file does not have an app associated with it.” This means that your Chrome browser cannot detect the correct application to download the magnet link.

There are several steps you can take to try and rectify the problem. I am about to give up on Bitcomet (alas).Sometimes, when you open a magnet link in Chrome, the browser returns an error message. I tried most of the solutions I found on the web, but without any success. One obvious solution is to migrate to utorrent, but bitcomet usually provides MUCH better download speed, so I am reluctant. This implies that the bandwidth itself is NOT the only source of the problem (if the bandwidth is THE problem, it should occur with other torrent clients, right?), but the problem may lie in the Bitcomet software (or how it interacts with other software/hardware-some said some routers cannot handle Bitcomet well). Surfing gets slower, but it is sufficiently fast. This problem does NOT occur AT ALL when I use other bittorrent clients (e.g. Most pages simply do not load due to timeout-basically, I CANNOT surf at all. I still get decent download speed (up to 200-300kbs occasionally).ĭespite this, whenever I download a torrent, I cannot surf. (2) I limited the Global upload speed to 10kbs.
Not the fastest, but still respectfully fast. (1) I have a good speed (3MB download 256kb upload). However, I STRONGLY believe that there is more to the problem than the simple bandwidth. In generally, I agree with most of the comments posted earlier-it is very true that downloading torrents will consume the bandwidth, and will slow down the surfing speed. I have been experiencing exactly the same symptom that "beatz2005" described.
