The hashes that our current magnet links contain are not optimal.

(Info by Harold Feit following below.)


- BTIH + MD5 magnets don't work that well
- although we CAN get away with it on single-file torrents
- it would never work right on batches
- and clients that support magnets, but not torrent magnets don't use MD5 as their 
search key
- they usually use SHA1
- which, in a magnet, needs to be Base32 encoded
