You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When clicking on a magnet link, transmission-remote-gtk always displays
the error "invalid or corrupt torrent file".  This seems to be caused by
xdg-open slightly modifying the link:

$ xdg-open "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:9BE2..."

results in

$ transmission-remote-gtk "magnet:///?xt=urn:btih:9BE2..."

which causes the problem mentioned.

I'm using transmission-remote-gtk 1.1.1-1 from vivid.
