Bug Description

The download manager should be able to download torrents.
When not downloading torrents, the implementation could have zero battery life overhead (you only pay for what you use).
Ideally, the download manager will be able to receive magnet links just as it receives http links and start downloading.

I'm the author of the torrent downloading app DowNow currently in the store.
In DowNow I'm using libtorrent by rasterbar to download torrents.
You can see how DowNow uses libtorrent here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~nogzatalz/downow/trunk/files/head:/src/downow/backend-libtorrent
I might be able to help implementing this feature.
