If you are running linux and have bittorrent installed then you can just 
open the torrent file from the webbrowser. Alternatively the command line

|btdownloadheadless --url http://someplace/file.torrent --saveas file

|should do the trick, although it tends to spew out too much info which 
you probably want to pipe to /dev/null.
You can use btdownloadcurses instead if you want to interact, or 
btdownloadgui if you have X available.
Bittorrent is installed by default in Ubuntu.

If you're running Windows then you can probably just download bittorrent 
and open the torrent files from your webbrowser. I don't know how to 
automate it using that though.


There doesn't seem to be any activity on the planet torrent though... 
not finding any seeds or peers.
