Just use `tixati` instead of `deluge` in instructions. – muru Sep 19 '15 at 03:30

yes you are right and I did, but the answer is quite long and user with few experience may need an answer for tixati – Postadelmaga Sep 19 '15 at 03:31

also I found very confusing configure this kind of thing so having the info collected in one clean thread is valuable for me – Postadelmaga Sep 19 '15 at 03:35

From this question
xdg-open's config via gconf-editor didn't do anything to resolve the issue: since as of Natty the file-open functionality is handled by gvfs-open, which doesn't use gconf settings. Rather, gvfs-open looks at the ".desktop" files
So here some general instruction, they should work for every client ( just wisely change tixati with what is required by you )
1. Check the tixati.desktop file
Actually tixati.desktop looks fine so you can skip this step
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/tixati.desktop
Here we need to check that:
Exec=tixati %Ucontains the%U- MimeType contains at least these 2 entry
MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;x-scheme-handler/magnet;
If not fix it and the run sudo update-desktop-database
2. set default application for Magnet
I suggest to uninstall transmission anyway this command should set tixati as default:
xdg-mime default tixati.desktop x-scheme-handler/magnet
