Well, there are already lots of "x-" types in the types config.
E.g., audio/x-mpegurl (m3u) or video/x-msvideo (avi).

IIRC those have been voted in on a case by case basis.

Dunno if the .torrent type is already popular enough to justify
its inclusion. Despite the fact that registering a type with
IANA is not that difficult (file out a form, wait 2-8 weeks
and you are usually done).

just my 0.02
