Magnet linker

Extends magnet links to enable quick adding of torrents to Transmission via the RPC API.

Magnet Linker is a handy Chrome extension designed to streamline the torrenting workflow by extending magnet links with a dedicated button. This button allows users to quickly add torrents directly to the Transmission client using its RPC API, eliminating the need for manual copy-pasting or multiple steps.

Beyond its core functionality, Magnet Linker offers customization options including the ability to insert custom HTML content before and after the button based on the website URL. Users can also adjust the floating behavior of the button's container div, enabling smooth integration with various website layouts. This extension is ideal for Transmission users seeking to enhance productivity and convenience when handling magnet links online.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Magnet linker requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.
