Multi-file torrents are supported; to handle them, `git annex addurl`
will add a directory containing all the files from the torrent.
It's hard to say if a torrent is healthy enough to let a file be downloaded
from it, and harder to predict if a torrent will stay healthy. So,
git-annex takes a cautious approach and when dropping a file, won't
treat this special remote as one of the required [[copies]]. It's probably
a good idea to configure git-annex to fully distrust this remote, by
running `git annex untrust bittorrent`
