Hi there
I'd suggest you snip out in your screen shot the picture of that well known site !!!! - pirated software and sites hosting copyrighted material etc is highly frowned upon here.

Try qbitorrent - fast no ads etc. I use it when downloading some Linux distros -- linux distros are often served by torrents to save load on servers (and costs) - most linux projects are open source and developed by a lot of people devoting free time to it so anything that keeps the costs down is well worth it.

If you read my initial post I have had a problem with my preferred qBittorrent not loading on my win 11 p.c. works fine on my other laptop running 10 tried many ways to resolve the issue without success yet both Utorrent and Bittorrent are working fine...if you can solve the issue as to why qBittorrent won,t load magnet links properly then I will be much obliged.

It's working correctly, but part of the window of Bittorrent is off-screen for scaling reasons. Click on Fn + Enter in the window you've captured and the download will start.
