(Get the code!)
Yes, I agree with that; the only purpose of having a bittorrent client by default is handling torrent downloads more or less transparently, without people having to google for "how to open .torrent" first. Including the client by default is not a proper solution to this problem.
Solution 1: make a download client that supports torrents, metalinks, szync and whatnot
Solution 2: create a handler for unknown mimetypes that searches a database of .desktop entries in packages and shows a list of apps that can open this mime type to the user. I think I'll register a blueprint about that.
