Comment(by rransom):

 Do magnet links work at all if no BitTorrent clients are already running
 for that BTIH and serving the torrent info dictionary?  (Without the info
 dictionary, a client would not know the torrent's piece size or be able to
 verify the contents of the downloaded file.)

 How do you expect BitTorrent clients to be able to download a file from a
 .onion address?
