+== What is a magnet uri, and how do I get Deluge to handle them? ==
+
+Magnet URIs are an easy way to add torrents by their info-hash.  You can learn more about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme
+
+If you're using GNOME, then you can do these following commands to associate magnets with Deluge:
+
+{{{
+gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/command 'deluge "%s"'
+gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/needs_terminal false
+gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/enabled true
+}}}
+
+If you aren't using GNOME, but using Firefox, you can set it up this way:
+
+ * Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
+ * Add a key by Right-click -> New -> Boolean -> Name: network.protocol-handler.external.magnet with value -> true
+ * Add another key, by Right-click -> New -> String -> Name: network.protocol-handler.app.magnet with Value -> deluge
+ * Ensure that the key network.protocol-handler.expose-all is set to true.
+
+In Windows, you can simply re-run the installer and select the magnet association option.
