Sorry about that.
Basically, I am trying to figure out which one is better to use, magnet link or hashinfo? It all works in the demo. I personally like the hashinfo style, it looks sleek.

More specifically, I just come across the concept of "webseed",(#1087) I found it that, there are more information attached to the magnet link when using webseed. Does webseed can only work when using magnet link?

Thanks.

I'd use a magnet link so you can also specify tracker servers and web seeds, both of which can speed up peer discovery, and thus total transfer time.
