I- I visited the same site, added same torrent again but it started from 0%Ģ-This time I performed Remove (just remove) on freshly(but same) downloaded torrent file via magnet linkģ-Then I again added the torrent file from location on my hard drive and to my surprise it checked and started again from the very point, where it was on the download before it was removed and deleted(torrent). J7N thanks for the information again, I took liberty of trying both approaches, remove, and Remove and Delete Torrent, remove worked exactly as u described I got its file from a location on my hard drive and added it again by double clicking on it and I got everything where it was before, but Remove and Delete Torrent deleted that torrent file from where it stored it on disk, I followed following steps, The only aspect that is changing is the way the torrents are distributed which is shifting from Bittorrent trackers and indexers to the server-less DHT procedure. Torrents are still essential for Bittorrent as they contain information about the download that need to be present in the swarm. Without going into to much detail, the hash of the magnet link is used to find peers using DHT.

DHT is enabled by default in popular clients such as uTorrent or Vuze. How can a download be initiated ff there is no tracker to inform the Bittorrent user about other users who download and seed the file? The answer is DHT, Distributed hash tables. Magnet Links use DHTĪ tracker less environment should raise a question of identification. Torrent indexers remain on the other hand the main source of information for new files that are available for download. It also allows them to distribute the information more easily. All they need is the link to start downloading the files which makes them independent from torrent indexers. The end users on the other hand benefit from Magnet Links as well. It could reduce the pressure from the media creation industry and reduce bandwidth costs significantly considering the smaller size of magnet links (barely any) compared to torrents that sometimes have a size of more than 100 Kilobytes. The main advantage for Bittorrent indexers is that they do not have to store the torrents on their servers anymore which could be beneficial for them in several ways. This speeds up the process of finding the first peers. One useful parameter that has not been mentioned yet is the as= parameter which contains encrypted information about a download source. Detailed information about additional Magnet Link parameters are listed on Wikipedia.

The full magnet link would look like this magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5dee65101db281ac9c46344cd6b175cdcad53426&dn=download.

?xt=urn:btih: (Defines a Bittorrent Info Hash, the Edonkey identifier would for instance look like this xt=urn:ed2k:).

magnet: (This is the magnet link identifier).

Magnet links can be distributed by email, messaging and other forms of communication but are most often found on the torrent sites that usually offer both torrent and magnet links to their users. A magnet link therefore is theoretically all that is needed to download files from other peers in the Bittorrent network. It is a server-less way of retrieving the right information to start downloading the requested files. A Bittorrent magnet link has all the information needed to start downloading the files from peers directly.
