How to Convert Magnet links into Torrent Files for Dropbox

Some of the torrent sites like Piratebay are now offering only magnet links. If you would like to start downloading remotely using dropbox, the magnet links won't work. To remote start downloading, you need the actual .torrent file.


Steps to follow:

1. Click the magnet link. Your default torrent client (for example utorrent) will start. Press OK.
2. After the download has started, go to %appdata%\uTorrent\ using Windows Run command (for other clients look for appropriate folder in  %appdata%.)
3. You will see the .torrent file there (if the .torrent file is not there, it means the torrent downloading has not yet started - wait for couple of minutes. Once the download is started, the .torrent file will show up).

Now you have the .torrent file to email or copy to Dropbox.


Option 2: You can try to use http://magnet2torrent.me. However, it may not work all the time. It may work, if your torrent is a popular one.
