Because of the extensive use of urn:sha1: hashes to define an entire file rather than the info hash of a torrent (look at gnutella networks for examples), it is considered reserved for purposes of magnets, which is why urn:btih: is used instead.
BOOYAH!!! SUCCESS!!! 2-3hrs of mucking around, I now am successfully 12% of the way through a magnet file in my uTorrent.. :cool: Open a chrome browser, install an app from Chromestore (magentme or magnet2torrent etc) it basically shortens/converts the magnet file to a torrent file.. took 2min to install, <1min to get magnet into uTorrent = happy camper!!!

The torrent never appeared in my list and I deleted utorrent and reinstalled. It is still telling me that the torrent is in my list when I only have 3 torrents in my list. In a last effort to get it working I deleted all in active torrents. It was a magnet link torrent and it's really making me want to through something against the wall.
As an exercise, I did this: went to a site that has "Download torrent file" and "Download as magnet link" for the same torrent.
