Using qbittorrent-nox inside of a jail on TrueNAS. Can search correctly, but trying to download from the search tab does nothing. Tried to download "Last of Us" and this is what came up in the download from url screen "https%3A//katcr.to//the-last-of-us-s01e06-1080p-web-h264-cakes-tgx-t5559585.html"

By opening the "Open Description Page" link, I can copy the magnet link and put it into qbittorrent for downloading with no issues.

In my case, this happens with all plugins that return an http(s):// link to an html page instead of a magnet:// link (or perhaps an http(s) link to a torrent file). I guess qBittorrent cannot parse any web page (how could it?), therefore parsing the web page to find torrent links should be plugin's business.

For example: right click on a result, select download and see this box: image This link is not a torrent link, in fact it is the description page.

First of all, that plugin is unofficial and we can provide limited support. Does the download link work from the UI? @Chocobo1 I think this is a bug in the WebUI. I guess we are encoding the URL twice.

@Chocobo1 I solved this issue using a VPN. Start the dowload with your vpn, then you can turn it off and resume your download.
