I have tried and tried and tried (i've never actually asked a Q Before, always figured it out)
But this is completly messed up so i urge you who have knowledge to help me.
On Chrome, Magnet links are being launched by Popcorn time instead of qBittorrent, which i am sure you can appreciate is highly unsatisfactory.
I have tried editing xdg-mime xdg-open the Popcorn-time.desktop entry to remove the magnet reference (in ~/.local/share/applications/Popcorn-time.desktop)
I have insured magnet exists in the qBittorrent.desktop. I have checked mimeapps.list in (~/.local/share/applications/) to use qBittorent.desktop
i have done everything that every guide on the planet has told me to do!
short of removing popcorntime completely, or switching away from chrome (both totally un-ideal) i have no clue what to do!
how do i set mime, to open magnet links (yes magnet links. not any extension file which can be set in properties)

Like already told on IRC:
since gvfs-open now handles most mime types gvfs-mime --set x-scheme-handler/magnet qBittorrent.desktop did set it to the wanted program qBittorrent.
Next time please stick to proper Facts and reduce all the swearing and ranting, so people can get a clue what the issue is and what you already tried to solve it.
