Default Magnets not working in 2.9.10

As you can see I have Limewire 2.9.10, when I click to d/l a magnet sometimes limewire will do it and other times it will just open up. This is only for certain ones, no they aren't eDonkey. Here is an example http://www.zeropaid.com/news/article.../05162003e.php . Try to d/l from the magnet, Another is Animatrix magnets, I can't get them to work either?

Default

We took out search by hash features in LimeWire because they were being abused on the network for massiver requerying by other clients. As part of this , we took out query origination parts of Magnet. For now, Magnets can only be used in LimeWire when there is a defined source of that content included in the Magnet link. Our fear was that Magnets would lead to too many network searches if done otherwise.

Thanks
-greg
