Magnet link not working on Download Station 4.3.0

Post by garykliu »

I just upgraded to QTS 4.2.2 in December and so as Download Station to 4.3.0, then the magnet link stop working.
It always says that the format of magnet is invalid (不正確的Magnet格式).

Is there any way to get back to older version? Or how to fix it?

I even remove and installed Download Station again, but without luck. :(
Same magnet link works fine in utorrent.

Works fine on my identical config.

Are you ensuring that inputbox prompt text is deleted before you add a magnet link?

If I open the Add -> Input URL box, then drag a magnet link into the address inputbox, it keeps the prompt text and appends the magnet link:
Input URL (One entry per line)magnet:?xt=urn:btih:2eb1d0e514d6...
... which results in an invalid URL.

If I click in the inputbox first, the prompt text clears, then I can add my magnet link:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:2eb1d0e514d6...
... and everything is sweetness-and-light. :wink:

and installed, then it works fine.

Hi All,

is there any solution to this or feedback from QNAP?

Version 4.3.0 just doesn't work well not only for magnet links but also for standard BT torrents. In toggling BT settings in DownloadStation (change all port forwarding related settings from enabled to disabled or vice versa) it somehow starts downloading for me usually. But that's no solution..

Someone knows whether this issue is known to and adressed by QNAP?
