There has been an issue with the windows version of uTorrent and magnet links.
from utorrent forum:
As we know magnet links don't work as good as in previous versions.
To make way around it, just disable/off/untick in: Options/Preferences/UI Settings/ Show a window that displays ...
Now it should start torrent and show the content of it in Files window.

Thankfully I have a macbook pro and the mac version of uTorrent hasnt had any problem with magnets.
Hope this helps. uTorrent is one of my fave programs.

Found out that if I go under "Add Torrent via URL" then paste this nifty piece of code magnet:?xt=urn:btih: follow by the Hash Info from the torrent it finds it. Much more work than before, but atleast I can keep stealin'
