  KEY FEATURES
  
  Save for later. Bookmark torrents from the banner or any batch row and send them in your own time. The queue is persistent across browser restarts.
  
  Batch panel for multi-torrent listings. Sort by name, seeders, or file size. Toggle between 25, 50, or 75 torrents shown. Per-row save bookmarks and a slide-out drawer with stats, your saved queue, and recent activity.
  
  Universal hash detection. Six-layer detection pipeline finds magnet links, labelled hashes, structured data attributes, and broad regex matches. Works on any site without a hardcoded list. Non-torrent pages bail out in under a millisecond.
  
  Cache checking. For supported providers, Magnetar shows whether a torrent is already cached before you send it, so you know instantly if it'll download fast. A tiered cache layer cuts repeat API calls so your provider isn't hammered.
  
  Magnetar Shield. Built-in popup and redirect blocker that stops adversarial sites from loading. Right-click any page to add it to the blocklist. Network-level blocking via declarativeNetRequest.
  
  Light and dark themes. Switches live across every surface, no page refresh required.
  
  Localised in 11 languages. English, Swedish, French, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Romanian, Lithuanian, Czech. Auto-detects from your browser locale.
  
  Open source under the MIT licence. Full code at github.com/ArrCee76/magnetar.
  
  PRIVACY
  
  Magnetar runs entirely in your browser. No analytics, no telemetry, no data collection. Network requests reach only the provider you have configured. Full privacy policy linked on the listing.

  Magnetar - Grab torrents, send them anywhere.
  Magnetar is a lightweight browser extension that detects torrent info hashes on any webpage and lets you send them to your preferred download service with one click. Whether you use a local torrent client, a cloud debrid service, or a self-hosted download manager, Magnetar has you covered.
  Six download modes:
  
  Local torrent client (generates standard magnet links)
  Real-Debrid
  AllDebrid
  Premiumize
  TorBox
  RDT Client (for self-hosted setups)
  
  Smart detection:
  Magnetar uses a multi-layer detection engine to find torrent hashes across the web, from Linux ISOs and open-source software to public domain media and Creative Commons content. It automatically categorises what it finds and checks your provider's cache so you know instantly whether a file is ready to download.
  Batch mode:
  On pages with multiple torrents, Magnetar shows a batch panel where you can select and send several at once. Previously sent items are tracked so you never accidentally download the same thing twice.
  Magnetar Shield:
  A built-in popup and redirect blocker designed for the kinds of sites where torrents are commonly found. Block and unblock sites with a right-click. No separate ad blocker needed for basic protection.
  Privacy first:
  No analytics, no tracking, no data collection. Your API keys are stored locally in your browser and are only used to communicate with services you've chosen. Fully open source: https://github.com/ArrCee76/magnetar
