Pondering if this bug should actually be there.
If delivering magnet links in a plaintext HTTP response is useless, then it is void.
On the other hand, I now seem to remember why I did that: I wanted to give the user the magnet
link for copy&paste, without spoiling the mirror list with that long, ugly thing... I think I
read some documentation about magnet links claiming that an advantage of them over torrents would
be that they can be copied & pasted. But presumably users will prefer to click on them, usually.
So we should rather link the ugly thing, and just give it a nice and simple name. "Magnet link".
:)
So the only question is whether to keep the .magnet representation. If we keep it (why not) then
it needs to be unescaped of course.
