Title: Adding support for bittorrent magnet URIs

For now it's just an URI endpoint, but I would like to expose it on the view, pretty much like other torrent sites do.

@ialbert, do you think we can just go ahead and give prio to magnets instead of .torrent files? Apparently it saves quite a bit of space:

I think it's better to jump in now than having to code and perform migrations later.
