How can I download file from magnet link on Ubuntu server?
I have a VPS running Ubuntu 14.04 (not Ubuntu desktop), and I would like to download some large files to it using a magnet link so I don't need to wait for a whole day to upload them from my local machine using scp.
Is this possible? What should I do? Thanks.

You just need a P2P (peer-to-peer) software for Ubuntu, for instance BitTorrent, Amule, or gtk-gnutella. It'll open magnet links.
Here's a page with instructions for using P2P software on Ubuntu.
