  • Safer: Any file downloaded from the Internet carries inherent risk malware that does not work with magnet links.
  • Easy to share: Magnet links are also easier to share. You can email them, send them as a text message, or send them through any popular messaging app.
  • Sustainable: As long as a seeder stays online, anyone with a magnet link can find them, even if no original contributors are there. Existing magnet links will still work as long as the hash can be generated from the torrent file again.
