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. Click on one of the magnet links to see if Chrome opens it with BitTorrent automatically. If Chrome is not working as intended or the setting was toggled on by default but Chrome is still not playing nicely with magnet links, you will have to dig deeper into Windows' registry settings. Why is it happening if you have a torrent client already installed?
Some places work, some places don't. I also checked in my Downloads folder, nothing started downloading. Okay, since the problem is definitely with your profile, what you want to do is to transfer as much of your existing profile to a new one as possible.
The easiest way to do it, losing as little as possible is as follows:. You can try copying a few things at a time, then narrow it down from there, especially since some things are unlikely to be the problem such as extensions, themes, scripts, local storage, etc. In fact, the most likely problem is Web Data. Try that one first. Consider doing it the other way around: instead of migrating your old data to a new profile, just make a copy of your old profile and delete one file at a time from it thus letting Chrome re-create it , then check to see if the problem is fixed.
Try another browser and see if you have the same issue. A while back I had a conflict with Spyware Doctor and Chrome. Even if I created an exception to allow full access, it wouldn't work.

Google Chrome on the other hand does not have that option, and the process is slightly more complex and less manageable than Firefox's. It starts with a download. Download the file type that you want opened automatically in the Chrome browser. You should see it displayed in the downloads bar at the bottom of the page.
When it completes, click on the small arrow icon next to it and select the "always open files of this type" option. This marks the file type so that it is run automatically whenever files matching it are downloaded to the local system.
For some file types, "always open with system viewer" is displayed instead; this is the case for PDF documents. That's all there is to it. All future files that you download that match the file extension will be run automatically on the system.
Note : Google Chrome prevents certain file types from opening automatically. The option to select "always open files of this type" is grayed out and not available for file types that Google considers dangerous.
File types that won't show the option include. Basically, any file type that is popular when it comes to malware distribution is blocked in Chrome. Chrome will always load them in the default application that is associated with the selected file type; the browser does not include options to select a different program for certain file types. The process needs to be repeated for other file types that you want executed automatically instead of just downloaded. You probably wonder how to reset the feature if you made a mistake.
There are two options for that. First, you can uncheck the option if the file type is still displayed in the download bar in Chrome.
