I have to admit I forgot they put they switched over to magnet entirely (I'm not actually that bigger torrent user).
But yeah same effect - although links may need to be shortened - it wouldn't be hard to knock up a quick redirect service to make nice friendly short urls.
They would then have extra space for number of seeders, leeches and any other descriptive info.

- duedl0r 14y agoYou don't have to download anything. A magnet link is not connected to a file on the server.

- duedl0r 14y agohmm..maybe he thinks about a third party service to shorten the urls. I don't see an advantage in shorting urls, but IMHO the idea with magnet links inside google is great..
