instant.io broke my magnetic links #244

Open

Description

My magnetic links on Windows 10 with Chrome worked just fine for years now. Today, I opened a link which opened a torrent on instant.io. That automatically set magnetic links to instant.io and now I can't switch it back to uTorrent. I spent over 2 hours on this now reading all kinds of different fixes on the internet to get this working again and none of them work. This is what is typically referred to nowadays as an asshole design.

Please don't be evil and undo this. I'm not going to switch all my torrent downloading to instant.io...mkay. It's just not going to happen. It's partly Chrome's fault and partly uTorrent's fault for their magetic links re-association not working to take back the association of magnetic links. However, what started all this was instant.io automatically reassigning magnetic links association without even asking!
