Does anybody here use Deluge? How do you get magnet links to work?

I'm currently on the Imac using Deluge as my preferred client - it just seems so much faster than (say) Transmission, which has recently been struggling to connect to other pirates on the high seas.

The only problem is: Deluge appears to have issues with magnet links. Although the client will open when you click a magnet, the link doesn't automatically get added to the downloads. So you have to manually enter each magnet link.

Is there anyway around this? I'd appreciate detailed instructions if possible (or a link to a video and/or article explaining what to do).

thanks

All you have to do is click the add button on the pop-up after opening a magnet link. The popup window in Dekuge may sometimes be blank at first, but you can click add before it populates and it still works.
IDK if there's a way to get it to skip that part and just start downloading after opening the link, but if there is and someone else knows I'd like to know, too.
- Thanks for the quick reply, but that doesn't work for me (there is no popup on my end).
  
  I recon your browser is trying to open the link in a different app
  
  It doesn't appear to be a browser issue - same thing happens irrespective of browser
  
  I assume it's because of how your computer deals with them in that case. Is there a way to reset permissions for magnet links?
  
  I'm not sure.
