--- Comment #4 from Thomas Perl <[email protected]> 2010-05-11 20:37:25 BST ---
gPodder isn't "torrent-aware". It just sees the .torrent file as an episode and
allows you to download it. The problem here is that for example in my case, I
use qBittorrent to download torrents and they are automatically saved in
~/Downloads, so gPodder would not even be able to find the downloads, even if
it tried.

You could come up with a patch that does the following when trying to play/open
a file, though (and I'd be willing to accept and merge it after a review):

 * IF the filename ends in ".torrent"
 * AND a file with the same name without ".torrent" exists
 * THEN open the file without ".torrent" instead of the torrent file

For some bonus points, the prospective patch could open the ".torrent" file and
examine the real filename of the contained file instead of naively stripping
the ".torrent".

I'm closing this now as WORKSFORME, but feel free to re-open in case you are
interested in submitting a patch to improve BitTorrent integration as described
above.
