Torrent is a method of distributing files over the internet by one or multiple participants. A BitTorrent software is required to download files that are distributed through the torrent method. You can download files by using a browser except torrent files until the Brave browser incorporated WebTorrent as one of its features so that you can download through torrents. By default, the WebTorrent feature is enabled on the Brave browser settings which is why a torrent will automatically download through it once you clicked a magnet link to download a file through a torrent. You can disable the WebTorrent feature of the Brave browser if you have a BitTorrent client installed on your computer that you want to use for downloading through torrent.
Here are the steps to stop Brave browser from downloading files through a torrent when you click a magnet link.
1. Click the MENU icon that looks like three horizontal lines on top of each other located at the top right corner of the Brave browser window, and then click SETTINGS option.
2. Click the EXTENSIONS category on the left side of the Settings page.
3. Click the WEBTORRENT option to switch it off.
4. Click the X button of the Settings page to close it.
