I want to download a torrent file using a magnet link on this computer

No torrent clients are installed. Let me ask a few quick questions to plan the right approach.
User has answered your questions: "Where would you like to save the downloaded files?"="Somewhere on the NVMe (/home/byk)", "Which torrent client would you prefer?"="aria2c (Recommended)". You can now continue with the user's answers in mind.
Package: aria2 Version: 1.37.0+debian-1build3 /dev/nvme0n1p2 223G 44G 176G 20% /home/byk
Plenty of space (176GB free). Here's the plan:

I'll run the download now. The magnet link has &so=44951 which is aria2's "select-only" file index parameter — it tells aria2 to only download file #44951 from the torrent (Minerva_Myrient appears to be a large archive collection, so this selects a specific file).

Okay sorry, is this actually working?
Short answer: no, it's been stuck at CN:0 SD:0 DL:0B for ~7 minutes — zero connections, zero seeders, zero bytes downloaded. It's still trying to fetch the torrent metadata (the .torrent file itself) via the trackers and DHT, but so far none are responding successfully. The errors you see are tracker failures (HTTP 500, DNS failures, timeouts).
The likely issues:
Let me cancel this and try with better flags (force DHT, enable PEX, explicit listen port):
aria2c stopped
Before retrying, a few questions to diagnose:
User has answered your questions: "How would you like to proceed?"="Retry aria2 with DHT/PEX tuned + explicit port (Recommended)". You can now continue with the user's answers in mind.
(no output)
Now let me retry with proper BT tuning. I'll run it in a way where we can watch progress and bail out if it's still stuck after a few minutes:

The backgrounding worked (PID 2496269), the shell's parent sleep just timed out. Let me check progress:

aria2c was killed (looks like the bash timeout's SIGTERM at 120s propagated through the pgroup). Let me do a proper setsid/disown and also run a quick diagnostic to see if the fundamental issue is network reachability:
--- DNS check --- 93.158.213.92 tracker.opentrackr.org 52.223.13.41 tracker.openbittorrent.com 67.215.246.10 router.bittorrent.com 2001:41d0:203:4cca:5:: dht.transmissionbt.com --- UDP to a tracker (BT UDP protocol probe, just see if packets leave) --- (timeout/failed) --- Outbound UDP via DNS (baseline) --- 172.66.147.243 104.20.23.154
DNS works, outbound UDP to 8.8.8.8:53 works. The nc -u timeout to tracker.opentrackr.org:1337 is normal — BT trackers speak their own UDP protocol, not line-oriented, so nc has nothing to "receive" — that's expected, not a failure.
Let me restart aria2 with setsid so it survives and use a proper tail loop that I can watch:

Now it's actually working. Big difference: it's handshaking with real peers (Transmission 4.0.5 in Australia, libtorrent clients from Japan/China/etc.) via DHT. The first run wasn't doing DHT properly. However metadataSize=0 in all peer handshakes means none of the connected peers have the torrent metadata yet — they're also just DHT peers.
The progress line still shows 0B/0B CN:0 SD:0 DL:0B because metadata hasn't been fetched yet. For a torrent with so=44951 (select only file index 44951), the Minerva_Myrient info dict is almost certainly large (it's a gigantic archive — the collection has ~50k+ files judging by that index number), so metadata fetching itself takes a while.
Let me let it keep running and check again in a few minutes:
=== Progress === [#ad21f1 0B/0B CN:0 SD:0 DL:0B] === Metadata progress in log === 2026-04-20 20:53:21.076993 [INFO] [DefaultBtInteractive.cc:315] CUID#109 - From: 158.173.152.243:20258 extended handshake client=qBittorrent%2F5.1.4, tcpPort=0, metadataSize=0, ut_metadata=2, ut_pex=1 2026-04-20 20:53:21.305295 [INFO] [SimpleBtMessage.cc:56] CUID#118 - To: 185.177.126.221:6889 extended handshake client=aria2%2F1.37.0, tcpPort=6884, metadataSize=0, ut_metadata=9, ut_pex=8 2026-04-20 20:53:21.477919 [INFO] [SimpleBtMessage.cc:56] CUID#102 - To: 124.169.55.160:51414 extended handshake client=aria2%2F1.37.0, tcpPort=6884, metadataSize=0, ut_metadata=9, ut_pex=8 2026-04-20 20:53:21.549606 [INFO] [SimpleBtMessage.cc:56] CUID#96 - To: 103.25.57.51:41560 extended handshake client=aria2%2F1.37.0, tcpPort=6884, metadataSize=0, ut_metadata=9, ut_pex=8 2026-04-20 20:53:21.549809 [INFO] [DefaultBtInteractive.cc:315] CUID#96 - From: 103.25.57.51:41560 extended handshake client=, tcpPort=0, ...
So the situation is clearer now: 51 peers connected (real clients: qBittorrent, Transmission, libtorrent), but ALL of them report metadataSize=0 — meaning none of them have the torrent metadata yet either. They're all in the same boat as us — connected via DHT but waiting on the metadata.
This is a strong signal that this swarm is essentially metadata-less — no seeders are currently sharing the actual torrent file. This commonly happens with:
A quick reality check — let's see if we can find this torrent's metadata via the BTDigg-style approach (an HTTP gateway that resolves info hashes to .torrent files):
=== Try fetching .torrent from public itorrents.org cache === HTTP/2 301 date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 20:55:26 GMT content-type: text/html location: http://itorrents.net/torrent/560FBBD1F07D45D30C25D18E1309AEC7CE15D16D.torrent server: cloudflare === Try torrage.info === HTTP/2 405 date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 20:55:26 GMT server: cloudflare allow: OPTIONS, GET cf-cache-status: DYNAMIC === Try BTcache (multiple known mirrors) === https://btcache.me/torrent/560FBBD1F07D45D30C25D18E1309AEC7CE15D16D HTTP/2 200 server: nginx https://torcache.net/torrent/560FBBD1F07D45D30C25D18E1309AEC7CE15D16D.torrent HTTP/2 403 alt-svc: h3=":8443"; ma=2592000
btcache.me returned 200 — let's try downloading the .torrent file from it:

Both caches returned HTML (error pages), not actual torrent data — so public .torrent caches don't have this one either. Let me give the DHT approach one more honest try — sometimes metadata fetching takes 10-15+ min on sparse swarms. Let me also check DHT routing table health:

Let me summarize what's actually happening here — this is real diagnostic info:
What's working:
What's not working:
metadataSize=0 — none of them have the torrent's info dict. They're all in the swarm (via DHT) but nobody has the actual torrent metadata to share.SD:0). No "connections" counted yet either because peer handshakes never completed the metadata exchange.This strongly suggests:
The torrent has no active seeders. The DHT has stale records of peers who were once in this swarm, but nobody currently holds the metadata. Without at least ONE peer having the metadata, the download cannot start.
Here's a torrent file: https://minerva-archive.org/assets/Minerva_Myrient_v0.3/Minerva_Myrient%20-%20Internet%20Archive%20-%20chadmaster.torrent
Having the actual .torrent file should bypass the entire metadata-fetch problem. Let me kill the magnet-link aria2 and start fresh with the .torrent file:

Done! Look at that progress line: SEED(0.0) — meaning the file is fully downloaded and aria2 transitioned to seeding. Then it exited because of --seed-time=0.

~/Downloads/torrents/Minerva_Myrient/Internet Archive/chadmaster/psp-chd-zstd-redump-part2/psp-chd-zstd/Patapon (Europe) (Demo).chdThere are also two adjacent .chd files visible in the directory listing (Passport to... Rome and Patapon (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).chd) — these are sparse-file placeholders that aria2 created because they're in the same piece-aligned region as your target file. Their ls size is misleading; the actual disk usage is small. You can safely delete them:
=== Real disk usage of all 3 files === 675M /home/byk/Downloads/torrents/Minerva_Myrient/Internet Archive/chadmaster/psp-chd-zstd-redump-part2/psp-chd-zstd/Passport to... Rome (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).chd 135M /home/byk/Downloads/torrents/Minerva_Myrient/Internet Archive/chadmaster/psp-chd-zstd-redump-part2/psp-chd-zstd/Patapon (Europe) (Demo).chd 11M /home/byk/Downloads/torrents/Minerva_Myrient/Internet Archive/chadmaster/psp-chd-zstd-redump-part2/psp-chd-zstd/Patapon (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).chd === Total dir size === 821M /home/byk/Downloads/torrents/
Hmm, my hypothesis was wrong — they're not sparse, they're real bytes (675M + 11M = 686M of "extra" content). aria2 actually downloaded full pieces that span across file boundaries: when piece N contains the end of file A + start of file B + end of file C, aria2 has to write all three. With BT piece sizes typically being multi-MB and your target being only 134MB, the boundary pieces ended up materializing as much of the neighbors as fit.
If you only want the Patapon demo file, run:
rm "/home/byk/Downloads/torrents/Minerva_Myrient/Internet Archive/chadmaster/psp-chd-zstd-redump-part2/psp-chd-zstd/Passport to... Rome (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).chd"
rm "/home/byk/Downloads/torrents/Minerva_Myrient/Internet Archive/chadmaster/psp-chd-zstd-redump-part2/psp-chd-zstd/Patapon (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).chd"
(Note: the Passport file is incomplete — it's just the trailing piece data, not playable.)
The magnet link approach got stuck because no peer in the DHT swarm had the metadata to share. The .torrent file from minerva-archive.org IS the metadata — once aria2 had it, peers became immediately useful for actual data exchange (62 peers in seconds, 5.2 MiB/s). This is the classic magnet-link failure mode for large/sparse swarms.

Cleaned up. Only Patapon (Europe) (Demo).chd (135 MiB) remains — total dir usage is now 135M (down from 821M).
