Since version 3.8.10 LimeWire supports magnet links under linux. Here is how to download a magnet link:

1. Make sure Limewire is running and connected

1. In your browser, right-click on the link and select "Copy Link Location".

3. Switch to Limewire. It will ask you whether you want to download the magnet uri.

4. Press Yes and enjoy!

This works with mozilla/netscape/firefox and konqueror. If you use a different browser, the steps should be similar.

Been fighting this for about an hour. I was making it way to hard. Thanks!

Thanks A Lot

I realize this is an old post but I wanted to give back a lil .
There's a Reg file that'll assosiate Limewire or Frostwire with the (Blue Texted URL's) known as Mag-Links located at the bottom of each Bitzi webpage & for those who don't know what Bitzi & Mag-Links have to do with Limewire/Frostwire then please read on.

If You go to bitzi.com & search for the 2009 movie "**" You'll get a search result much like that at Google. It'll display a list of links & each link leads to a webpage. Only difference is these links take You to webpages that contain Ratings & a Mag-link for that particular movie.
Your supposed to be able to Single-Clk on the Blue Mag-Link located at the bottom of the page to auto-launch the download process of the movie "**".
However this is where the problem arise's because without setting the proper Xp-file-assosiation (Your P2P app will never auto-start the download process)

Anyway a Reg file to fix the file assosiations can be downloaded here> MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service The Reg file is in a Rar pkg, & once decompressed You'll see 2 files, one named Frostwire & the other Limewire, choose the one named after Your P2P app & Dbl Clk on it, at which point You'll be promted by Xp to merge the data from the Reg file into Your Windows XP Registry,You choose Yes!
Make sure to scan the Rar file with Your AV & preview what'll be merged into Your Reg by opening each file with Notepad

Sorry Pointman, but we can't allow the names of copyrighted files to be posted... looks like condoning copyright infringement
