I don't know what all these people in the Reviews have a problem with. This works as intended: Select a hash, right click, click the extension, and it downloads in your torrent client. Seems to me that this pulls on several sources because so far it has been downloading fast. It's just a shame that I need to click an extra button when it opens a new tab for this...

I believe the people leaving negative reviews don't know what this extension does. It lets you create a torrent/magnet from an info hash, so you don't need an actual torrent/magnet link to be present. Example: I use this extension on meta search site torrentz2.eu, which DOESN'T HOST ANY TORRENT/MAGNET LINKS, but DOES SHOW AN INFO HASH. This site wants you to continue to one of the hosting sites in their search results and get the torrent/magnet from there. But with this extension you don't have to anymore, just select the info hash and let the extension add it to your BT client. Don't leave a bad review just bc you don't know what an extension is for. 1 bug I did encounter; each time I use the extension it closes my last tab.
