Unable to open Pirate Bay magnets

[ge...@none.net]

Last weekend with 12.13, clicking on "Get this torrent" at Pirate Bay
opened the magnet and Vuze. Now after updating Opera and Vuze, I'm
getting an error message, either "No registered application for this
extension" or "The address type is unknown or unsupported." I was
getting the first until I tried adding "magnet" as a Downloads protocol
in Preferences and then deleted it (it's like Opera won't let it go).
OTOH, there's no problem opening the same torrents from isohunt, but
they are torrent not magnet links. My x-bittorrent set up under
Downloads in Preferences is the same as it's been for quite some time:
Open with Default Application
"C:\Program Files \Vuze \Azureus.exe" "%s"

Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks,

Gene

Thanks, but as I read that page they weren't able to solve the problem.

Opera 12.14 with uTorrent works with magnet links just fine. I'm not sure
if it worked or not on 12.13, though.

Do the magnet links work in other browsers?

If you try to run the magnet link in the Windows Run -dialog (WIN+R), does
it work?

Found the answer: apparently updating Vuze this time also required
resetting file associations in the program. For anyone else coming
across this, this is what worked:

In Vuze go to Tools > Options > Interface
Click on the 'reset' button next to 'Reset explorer file
associations...'

Next time opening a magnet link, there'll be a box asking if you want
to associate that magnet file with Vuze. Check so to not see the box
again and then click on Proceed. Next time it will open Vuze straight to
the magnet box.

On the one hand, you're replying to a 2-1/2 year old post.

On the other hand, https://thepiratebay.mn/ would seem to disagree with you.
