Open Magnet Links in Put.io
Tired of having issues when you try to open a magnet link? This extension helps by adjusting the links to go through Put.io, to your clipboard, or to any URL you want.
You know how urls start with http:// or https://? Well, some start with `magnet:` and by default most devices do not know how to handle this. Magnet Links lets you choose how you want these urls handled.

Hello there, for a sample for what this extension does visit this page and try to click on the URLs before using the extension and after using the extension.

For example, by default a Mac doesn't know what to do with a magnet link, which looks like this:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:6H6NYFDC2NSTB5JGYHMUALXMSEALPOQY&dn=ubuntu-21.10-desktop-amd64.iso&xl=3116482560&tr=https%3A%2F%2Ftorrent.ubuntu.com%2Fannounce
what my extension does is prefixes it with a Put.io url
https://put.io/default/magnet?url=
so that Put.io can download the file for you.
So the final URL after my script runs should look like this:
https://put.io/default/magnet?url=magnet:?xt=urn:btih:6H6NYFDC2NSTB5JGYHMUALXMSEALPOQY&dn=ubuntu-21.10-desktop-amd64.iso&xl=3116482560&tr=https%3A%2F%2Ftorrent.ubuntu.com%2Fannounce
and when loaded Put.io will handle the download.
