That doesn't happen here, in fact it's the second workflow you wrote that it
follows for me:

> 1.  Find torrent in Web browser
> 2.  Open torrent with Gnome BT Client
> 3.  Browse to where to save torrent

Perhaps the servers you are talking to do not correctly set the mimetype of
the torrent files?

And provides only slightly more status information than a common in-browser
http download. That's perfect. In fact, I can see ways to simplify and focus
it even more. :-)
