I tried opening up some torrents on uTorrent. They won't list and won't show up. I tried clicking the links again, and it said the torrents were already open. I don't know if they are but aren't showing, or if they aren't and I'm just being told that they are open. What I'm worried about is the torrents are there and active but invisible, and they might start seeding and then they'll always be seeding and then I won't be able to remove the torrents and stop the seeding.
I clicked on a torrent link called a magnet link. I don't know what that is and what it means to use one.
Do you think the torrents are there and would be active, or do you think they aren't there and the program is wrong in telling me the torrents are there. Also, when I tried re-adding a torrent (and it told me it is already open in my torrent client), it asked me if I wanted to add trackers and I clicked yes. I don't know what the significance of that is. I don't even know if the trackers were added since the torrent might not even be there.
I'm currently using utorrent, but was thinking of finding another torrent client. If I ditched utorrent and then went with an all new torrent client, would this remedy my problems/potential problems? If I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, would that remedy my problems/potential problems?
Also, do I have to worry about malware in this case? Was I duped and some malware transferred to my computer without any warnings (I had no virus warnings from this)?
