Some question on magnet links

[Ctblack]

I started to use magnet links on the site, it works mostly except sometimes there is a torrent that looks dead (never starts to download anything after hours) even it have some peers connected, it will only started to download if I use a non magnet link torrent from the same torrent. Any ways to "kick started" it?

Also you can't see whats the name of the torrent is not working, as it doesn't display the name of the torrent until it starts downloading. Any ways to find the name easily without having to try to match up the magnet link hash number on the site with the list of torrents?

... no.

That's how a Magnet URI works.  The content, even the TITLE is hashed and until you connect to peers and begin to download it you don't have that information.

A Magnet link is a Uniform Resource IDENTIFIER, as opposed to a website address which is a Uniform Resource LOCATOR.  A URL tells you the where of information you are downloading, a URI tells you the what and how.  The whole point of a Magnet link is that it obfuscates the content and source, and doesn't require a tracker for torrent access.

I understand how a magnet link works, there are some magnet links (on other sites) that display the torrent's name instead of its hash numbers right at the start.
