I've looked at your patch and refined it. I'm not a torrent downloader,
but I've tested a feed from revision3.com. Basically, this downloads
the .torrent file and then calls "gnome-btdownload" with the torrent and
the torrent filename (thanks to your code ;) and saves the real file in
the selected torrent download folder. Please have a look if this would
work eventually. Of course, we should make the torrent client
configurable later.
Basically, you can download the .torrent and gPodder then starts
gnome-btdownload as soon as the torrent is downloaded. You can close
down gnome-btdownload and continue the download later by clicking on the
torrent in gPodder's main window and click on "download" (which opens
gnome-btdownload and continues the download).
I've included the patch, as I'm not yet sure if this is what a torrent
user would expect from gPodder - I need your feedback :)

Nice :) As always, just send the patch in when you think it's ready,
I'll have a look at it =)
Enjoy,
Thomas
