Magnet links are an increasingly popular way to make downloading and sharing bittorrent files even faster and easier! Sometimes called 'magnet URIs,' magnet links let you download your favorite content using a plain-text link. Just copy and paste the link into e-mails and instant messages and you’re good to go!
What Is a Magnet Link
Magnet links make life easier for both bittorrent hosts and users. Without them, files (and pieces of files) had to be assigned specific names (or 'hashes') to guard against corrupt or dummy files—but with magnet links, the client can just copy, paste, and send the link.

This simple.exe file contains a powerful app for downloading files in.torrent format with greater speed and reliability than other P2P programs like Emule. Search for torrents and download in a few steps. Instantly stream torrent files and magnet links. The best online torrent player and downloader!
Downloading Torrents Using Magnet Links
For every download or upload the interface shows download and upload speed, file size, file name, progress, seeds, peers etc. Overall usage can be monitored in tabular and graphical views. New torrent or magnet files (compatible with Azureus) can be added through torrent sites or from within BitTorrent. A magnet link does away with the middleman. A magnet link is essentially a hyperlink containing the hash code for that torrent, which your torrent client can immediately use to start finding.
With magnet links, you no longer need to download a '.torrent' file to download a torrent. Magnet links have the same functionality as a '.torrent' file. To use magnet URIs, you need only ensure that your bittorrent client is associated with them. Just click the magnet link and let the bittorrent client do the rest.

Trackers vs Indexers

A bittorrent tracker coordinates communication between users attempting to download the data contained in the torrents. An indexer, on the other hand, gathers torrent data from one or more tracker sources into a central database, making it easier for you to find the content available in the public domain that interests you.

Magnet Links and Chrome
Users have found that Chrome does not recognize magnet links. There are many fixes available from bittorrent discussion forums, though most are quick to point out that Firefox does recognize magnet URIs, so many users choose to paste the link into their Firefox browser and download from there.
The important thing to remember is that using magnet links is easy and quick, so you spend less time downloading.
