Magnet links are a kind of torrent links, but a little more “universal”: files can be located anywhere (including on torrents), and they are searched and identified by some unique key - a hash.
To download files from magnet links, use a regular torrent client. For example, uTorrent (for Windows) or Deluge (for Linux). It is on their example that it is shown how to download files from magnet links.
(I advise you to read
detailed uTorrent FAQon our forum)
Notice that there is one feature that distinguishes a magnet link from a torrent link: at the beginning of the download, your client does not know anything about the files included in the distribution. Therefore, if you want to select only some files from the distribution, wait until your client receives this information and then remove the "birds" from the files you do not need.
