Then again...once I now have a magnet link, the other question is how one can even use it in LimeWire for linux? I thought I could run "$HOME/LimeWire/LimeWire" and pass the full magnet link as a command line option and it would somehow query the already running limewire and popup a dialog asking me if I wish to download magnet link such and such in that already loaded instance. LimeWire did ask if I wanted to add it to my download list, but, sadly, it loaded another copy of itself in the process, which is not good.

Is there some other way I could pass magnet links to LimeWire in linux that doesn't make it load another copy of itself? And another question is, does anyone know how to associate magnet: URI's in FireFox or konqueror to LimeWire so that simply clicking a magnet: link sends the entire magnet URI to limewire?
