How to add a magnet URL to bittorrent programmatically from vb.net?

Question

I have a database table where Magnet URLs are stored by another program, like magnet:?stuff.com%num. I would like to use a separate program to add these URLs to bittorrent.

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

If magnet links are already associated with BitTorrent you can simply use Diagnostics.Process.Start

Diagnostics.Process.Start("magnet:?...") 

if magnet links are not associated then you can just pass the magnet link as a argument like so:

Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\...\BitTorrent.exe", "magnet:?...")
