Magnet URLs (like for BitTorrent) from showRSS crash the embedded Safari browser, although they don’t crash real Safari. (Not sure if it’s just showRSS specific or not.) If I double tap the article or click on the browser icon, the whole app crashes and I get dropped out to springboard.
On a related note, it’d be great if there was a way to copy just the URL of the current feed item; the existing Copy functionality returns both the name and URL.
Got an example URL I can test?
Semi-related question: What are you doing with magnet links on an iPad? I’ve been looking long and hard at a solution to torrent from an iPad, but I haven’t found anything satisfactory, and am thus iPad-less.
Here’s what I get from using the Copy action: “The Blacklist 3x14 Lady Ambrosia 720p

I’m using my iPad to control uTorrent on another computer
