Mgnet.me – Torrent Magnet Link Shortener
In near future, we are going to see less .torrent files and more magnet links across all torrent sites because it is beneficial to owners of these sites and as well to the users. Magnet link is an alternative to .torrent file, which first has to be downloaded on the local computer and then opened to start a torrent download. The magnet links identify a file by the content’s hash value and are usually long. An example of a magnet URL is, magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ZFDAPKCLULVRSUTTDU.
Sharing such a long magnet link can be difficult on Twitter and other services. This is where Mgnet.me comes in to help. It can shorten the magnet URL in just one click.
