It's not a glitch, it's how magnets work; they do need to contain trackers (see the spec).

Add more trackers to make it work, and do not rely only on DHT

"Skip hash check" in uT is not the same as qT.
qT applies logic to decide when it does not need to hash check, for this reason, the function is better than uT.

Cross seeding in a client is a bad idea. Do not try to use the same data or the same torrent for multiple trackers; doing this is a very good way to get an account banned. Instead create a tracker specific folder, put a copy of data inside folder, fetch .torrent, point location to new folder, do a recheck, then seed to the one tracker only.

Seriously, uT has sucked for a long time - an alternative was needed, qT is a good one.

Somehow I couldn't get those magnet links to work in qbittorrent, and that too after lot of trials and tinkering. It almost always stalled on "Downloading metadata...". Did my share of googling to solve the problem and found that I am not alone. Then I installed Deluge and voila...those very same magnet links that stalled in qbittorrent worked without any problems in Deluge, that too out of box and without port forwarding. In fact I downloaded those "magnetic" .torrent files with help of Deluge and then added them to qbittorrent.
