Hi, I'm trying to run runLime.sh with magnet links as an argument, and using one of the links from magnetmix.com, I get an error with LimeWire. Can other people try it out and tell me if they get the same thing.

According to limewire.com, magnet links only work with Windows. No linux support yet.

Just copy the magnet link in the clipboard, and switch to limewire. It will ask you whether you want to download it.

I understand that I can copy links into the clipboard and Limewire will pick them up if it's open, but that still isn't the ideal, preferred behavior. I want magnet links to open runLime.sh with the the magnet link as an arguement. This should be possible using the mozex mozilla extension. When I set it up though, it appears to *try* to work, but it doesn't. It produces the error message that I listed. All I'm asking is for someone to copy and past the runLime.sh command that I listed into their terminal and let me know what the output is, so that I can determine if this is a Limewire bug or a misconfiguration on my part.

You must set the magnet-uri either in quotes or escape the ampersands. The ampersand is a reserved character.

./runLime.sh "magnet:?xt..."

or

./runLime.sh magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:...\&dn=...
