Looking through the list of features and the changelog of enhanced ctorrent, I notice a complete absence of magnet links or any mention there of.

You may want to look at Transmission.

I'm just a technology hobbyist trying to find my way through life. I like FreeBSD, Linux Mint, Anime, Lua, Ruby, and Go. I'm in a love/hate (but mostly love) relationship with Docker. I like configuring systems and doing so in a way that makes them modular and scalable. I build PCs, and like building small, lean and minimalistic machines rather than giant overpowered behemoths (though I will do the latter in situations that require it).

  If there was a tweak to get it going (a lib or otherwise), I wanted to provide the full details to get it installed. The intention is so that people searching this in the future could translate it to their specific situation. Sorry for being ambiguous in the question.
