Clicking on a magnet link in Konqueror opens ktorrent. I want to change this association so clicking a magnet link calls a shell script, passing the magnet URI (URL?) as an argument. How can this be achieved?

Open the "Configure Konqueror" dialog from the menu. On the left hand side, you'll see an entry named "File associations". Select it. I think magnet links should be in the uri" category, but see for yourself. Select the proper entry for magnet links and change the associated program.Kubuntu Raring Ringtail x64 w/ Kde 4.10.5

I've tried that, but there is no magnet association anywhere in File Associations, yet somehow Konqueror knows to launch kTorrent when a magnet link is clicked. I tried adding my own magnet setting under the URI category, as you suggested, but I must have configured it wrong, as kTorrent was still launched when I clicked a link.

I've found this http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2.../msg00048.html describing how to add a new protocol. I've copied /usr/share/kde4/services/magnet.protcol to ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/, and the file looks like this:
[Protocol]
exec=kio_magnet
protocol=magnet
input=none
output=filesystem
copyToFile=false
copyFromFile=false
listing=Name,Type,Size,
reading=true
writing=false
makedir=false
deleting=false
moving=false
Icon=folder-remote
#maxInstancesPerHost=2
maxInstances=10
#X-DocPath=kioslave/magnet/index.html
Class=:internet
How do I modify it to pass the clicked link to ~/bin/magnet.sh?
