As I understand it, this is how the current bittorrent scripts are
supposed to work.  You define the mime type of a torrent file as being
handled by the script, and if you click on a torrent link in your browser
it launches.

Again, I haven't gotten any of this to work on my own systems - largely
because I haven't tried very hard - but this is the ONLY way I've seen to
start a bittorrent download.
