Description:

The current KTorrent package provides a magnet.protocol file that is installed into /usr/share/kde4/services/. In a Plasma 5 session this directory is not read for the mime database. Upstream has discarded the magnet.protocol file and updated the .desktop file to accomodate the x-scheme-handler/magnet mime type, but no new release has been made in quite some time. Could the Arch package .desktop file be updated to include this fix?

The change can be viewed at https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/network/ktorrent/repository/revisions/f090d11e8837d944dedb40f873713abe4e15d4b4

I can confirm that copying the .procotol file to /usr/share/kservices5 fixes the problem. Sticking to this workaround until a proper fix is made available.
