Ok. Bittorrent transfers work. There are still cleanups I'll have to do, but 
they mostly depend on the transfer interface, so I'll wait until that is 
done.

One thing that might be special for the bittorrent plugin: Since a torrent 
file can contain many files it makes more sense to let the user specify a 
directory where to store it and not a filename for the torrent file.

Another point is the saving the transfers in the xml document: My current 
implementation stores the content of the torrentfile in the xml file. 
Although this might not be wanted in the future, I noticed that it would be 
better if every transfer would get an extra xml node as argument to its 
read/write methods where it can store its contents instead of the root node 
of the document. Thus we can easily create subnodes as follows:

<Transfer Dest="file:///home/squig/New%20Folder/New%20Folder/lifeform-projec
t-archives-vol-1.torrent" TotalSize="339732996" Priority="3" Percent="2" Pro
cessedSize="7995392" Source="http://www.legaltorrents.com/bit/lifeform-proje
ct-archives-vol-1.torrent" Group="None" Status="1" />
<bencode>
--bencode goes here
</bencode>
</Transfer>
</TransferList>

BTW we need to save the plugin that is responsible for the transfer somewhere 
as well.

Felix
