To create a working magnet for your Website you first need to create a standard magnet-link. You can do that either with LimeWire ( <a href='http://www.limewire.com'>»http://www.limewire.com</a> ), with Phex ( <a href='http://phex.kouk.de'>»http://phex.kouk.de</a> ) or with Bitcollider ( <a href='http://bitzi/bitcollider'>»http://bitzi/bitcollider</a> ).

<p>
<a name="1.2: With Phex"></a><h3>With Phex</h3>
Set sharing up, so that the file is in your shared files. Then go to the Library and select export (bottom of the window). Select "Phex default (HTML)", then select "include my IP" and click export.
<p>
Open the exported file in your browser and find and copy the link to your file. This is the magnet in the form:
<p>
magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:<hash-code>&dn=<filename>&xs=<ip>:<:port>/uri-res/N2R?<hash-code>

<p>
Continue in Step 2.
<p>

<a name="2: Add the URL of the file"></a><h2>2: Add the URL of the file</h2>
Copy the http-Link of the file on the Internet. I'll call that adress "<location>".
Add the following to the magnet-link (without the quotes):
"&as=<location>"
<p>
Now you have a Magnet-Link, which tells magnet-supporting file-sharing programs to find the file in the network and to use the internet-address if it can't find the file in the filesharing network.
<p>
Put it on your Webpage like you would any normal link. The filesharing programs open automatically, when you click on it (if one is installed on the visitors machine).
