Magnetar Mobile Help

Setup and workflow help for Android Share, auto-scan, Add, Review, Saved, History, Client browsing, RDT Client and common fixes.

Start here

First setup

  1. Open Settings and use the Client setup area near the top.
  2. Choose the provider or client you already use and tap Configure.
  3. Enter the API key, server URL or login details required by that destination.
  4. Run Test connection and wait for the inline result in that section.
  5. Share a URL, magnet or hash into Magnetar Mobile when a destination is verified.

Setup

Choosing and testing a client

First run has no fake or default provider. Magnetar Mobile needs a configured and successfully tested destination before it can send or browse.

TorBox, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid and Premiumize

Add the API credential from your own provider account, then run Test connection. Passed providers can be used for supported send, browse and playback actions. TorBox users can also send NZB URLs to TorBox from Add.

qBittorrent

Connect to qBittorrent Web UI on your own machine or server. The Web UI must be reachable from the Android device.

RDT Client

Configure the RDT Client server, username and password, then choose a backing provider and enter that provider API key.

Local Client

Use an installed Android magnet handler. Local Client can hand off magnets, but it does not provide library browsing, playback or downloads inside Magnetar.

Setup can be reopened with Show welcome. Clear cache is safe for normal cleanup: it clears temporary client lists, provider responses, thumbnails, scan state and cached media, while keeping credentials, Saved, History and settings.

Share flow

How to use Android Share

  1. Open a page, magnet link, hash or source URL.
  2. Share it to Magnetar Mobile.
  3. If it is a shared URL, Magnetar Mobile auto-scans it by default.
  4. If it is a direct magnet or hash, Magnetar Mobile parses it immediately.
  5. Review found items, then send, save, rename, inspect or send them to Review.

Detection

Auto-scan and Scan or Rescan

Shared URLs auto-scan for magnets and hashes when the setting is on. The button remains Scan before a page is checked and changes to Rescan after results, an empty scan or a failed scan. Auto-scan never auto-sends.

Add clears after a real successful send. It also clears and collapses after a successful Send to Review, and handled Android share payloads are consumed so old links do not immediately scan again.

Navigation

Add, Review, Saved, History and Client

Add

Receives shared URLs, magnets and hashes. Share Centre shows where new items are sent, while Provider Overview shows status and library information for the selected provider or client. TorBox users can paste NZB URLs and send them to TorBox.

Review

Holds items before sending. You can send one item or a batch; successful sends move to History and leave Review, while failed items stay available for retry.

Saved

Stores items for later with readable names preserved. Saved items can be selected, sent, copied, pinned, reordered or removed.

History

Shows successful sends with readable titles and the provider or client target used. Successful TorBox NZB sends appear with an NZB tag.

Client

Browses the configured provider or client library in Provider view, or lets you organise items locally in Organised view without changing provider-side files or folders.

Send

Why Send can be disabled

Send is disabled when there is no verified destination. The app may show No verified client, No configured client or Needs test depending on whether setup is missing, incomplete or changed since the last successful test.

Magnetar Mobile sends only to the configured destination you choose. No provider accounts are included, and nothing is sent to an ArrCee account or telemetry service.

RDT Client

RDT Client setup

RDT Client is a compound setup in Magnetar Mobile. Configure the RDT Client server, username and password, then choose a backing provider such as TorBox, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid or Premiumize and enter that backing provider API key.

A label such as RDT Client · TorBox means the active client is RDT Client, with TorBox behind it. The Client tab should browse through the RDT Client API, not direct TorBox.

TorBox

Sending NZB URLs to TorBox

  • For TorBox users with their own TorBox account.
  • Sends NZB URLs to TorBox.
  • Not a general Usenet or NZB downloader built into Magnetar Mobile.
  1. Configure and test TorBox in Client setup.
  2. Open Add.
  3. Enable TorBox NZB.
  4. Paste an NZB URL.
  5. Send it to TorBox.
  6. Check History for the successful send with an NZB tag.

Library

Provider view, Refresh and large libraries

  • Provider view shows the selected provider or client library.
  • Refresh reloads the selected provider.
  • Large libraries are loaded in pages for faster browsing.
  • Search and filters work across the loaded library.
  • TorBox and Real-Debrid can load beyond 100 library items.
  • Expand folders to load files when supported.

Client views

Provider vs Organised

Provider

  • Shows the library from your connected service.
  • Content appears as the service returns it.
  • Refresh updates the latest provider list.

Organised

  • Magnetar Mobile's local folders.
  • Create folders and move items between them.
  • Add items from Provider view.
  • Removing items here does not delete provider files.

Deleting folders or items in Organised only affects Magnetar Mobile.

Folders

Add an item to an Organised folder

  1. Open Client.
  2. Choose Provider view.
  3. Use the folder or add-to-folder button on an item.
  4. Choose Watch Later, Audiobooks, Other or create a new folder.
  5. Open Organised view to see your folders.
  • Organised folders are local to Magnetar Mobile.
  • Removing an item from a folder does not delete provider content.
  • Deleting a folder does not delete provider content.

Fixes

Troubleshooting

No verified client

Open Settings, use Client setup near the top, configure a provider or client, then run Test connection. Sending and browsing stay locked until a destination is verified.

Needs test

A configured provider or client has not passed its current test, or its settings changed after the last test. Run Test connection again.

Client list not loading

Check that the selected provider or client is configured, enabled, tested and reachable. Refresh again after a slow provider response or rate limit clears. Large TorBox and Real-Debrid libraries can load beyond 100 items, but very large accounts may still take longer.

Files do not appear until a folder expands

This is expected for providers that lazy-load files. The Client tab loads top-level folders first, then gathers files when you expand an item.

Rate limit or slow provider response

Wait briefly and retry. Some providers throttle requests or take longer to return library and file links.

Failed send remains in Review

Failed Review sends are kept so you can fix the client or provider issue and retry without rescanning.

Clear cache without deleting settings

Clear cache removes temporary client lists, provider responses, thumbnails, scan state and cached media files. It keeps credentials, Saved, History and settings.

Android Share shows an old link

Magnetar consumes handled share payloads after real send, save, discard or Send to Review actions so stale Android shares do not immediately rescan.

RDT Client browses the wrong place

When RDT Client is active, the Client tab should browse through the RDT Client API. A label such as RDT Client · TorBox means RDT Client is active with TorBox behind it.

Privacy

Privacy basics

  • No ads, analytics, telemetry or tracking.
  • Settings, saved items, history and credentials are stored locally.
  • Provider requests go to the provider or client you configure and choose.
  • Read the Magnetar Mobile Privacy Policy for Google Play and app privacy details.
