A win-win situation. Once you click on a magnetic link, Chrome should be able to parse the hash data and open it in your default torrent client. The problem arises when Chrome refuses to identify the magnet link and returns an error.
Click on the Menu icon in any Chrome tab and select Settings. Scroll to the very bottom of the page to find the Advanced button. Click on it to reveal more options. The first heading should be Privacy and security. Underneath it, you will find Content Settings. Click on it and make sure that the option is toggled on. If it is, you will see it in blue and if it is not then it will be greyed out. This setting essentially tells Google to make a call and handle the necessary protocols, magnet links in our case, and associate it with the correct program automatically, BitTorrent in my case.
You might be using another torrent client like Vuze which is cool. If the setting was off, you need to toggle it on and visit a torrent hosting site which offers the magnet link option. Adding magnet links to uTorrent is rather easy.

There are tons of illegal torrent sites but only a handful of the legal ones. You can find more by doing a simple research in Safari. You can't download any files shared via torrents without these metadata. Magnet URI on other hand does contain any data within, simply encoding a name for the application to seek from peers, in this case the torrent in question.
So if you have a magnet URI and no peer with the torrent it refers to, you will never get the files it shares. That is downloading the torrent itself from the peers already holding it.
Why not use one good client like Tixati that can handle both magnet links and torrent files?
