#343 .torrent won't open in Media Player

[How-to-Do Girls]

I downloaded a feed with a torrent enclosure and it
works great. The only problem is when I try to open
the file with the media player from inside iPodder it
uses the .torrent extension

Well, most Media players wouldn't expect to handle a
.torrent file. What needs to happen in this case is for
iPodder to send the .torrent file to a bitTorrent client
(preferably passing it the target location in "My Received
Podcasts/podcast name" if that's possible), then pass the
result to the media player when it's finished downloading.

Doesn't seem the easiest of tasks when you look at it that
way? Maybe iPodder should incorporate it's own BitTorrent
client to use instead of HTTP downloading.

Just to clarify iPodder works great for .torrent file, it
downloads the .torretnt it downloads the stuff inside the
.torrent, all the works. The only problem is after the
content is completely downloaded and I want to open the file
(the one inside the torrent not the .torrent) with a media
player from inside iPodder it doesn't open the .AVI (as in
this case) it send the .torrent to the media player which of
course barfs.

Like I said the BitTorrent worked great, I can go to the
download directory and open the actual media file manually I
just can't do it from inside iPodder.

This seems like a trivial fix. When opening the downloaded
content in a media player look inside .torrent files for the
name.
