why magnet links rock

Pretty simple really, cuz I'm real lazy. I love them magnet links, they are a new kind link format that contain location information for files, especially useful for peer to peer applications where finding and sharing this type of information is not that obvious From WikiPedia A magnet link is an open technology used by many file sharing communities. Previously, if you were downloading a file from a Peer-to-peer network, you couldn't send a link of that file to a friend. A magnet link lets you do just that. It is also aimed to be independent of the Peer-to-peer technology, program or network being used, which makes magnet links exchangeable across networks, programs and platforms.I've played with them a bit with bittorrent lately and it sure beats dowloading and loading torrents file though magnet links don't always work (sometimes they are not alive). Yo laziness rocks, okay, maybe Runner up coolness: nzb files (newsgroup) Links - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_link
