Some more work on the interface that lets remotes claim urls for `git annex addurl`. Added support for remotes suggesting a filename to use when adding an url. Also, added support for urls that result in multiple files when downloaded. The obvious use case for that is an url to a torrent that contains multiple files. Then, got `git annex importfeed` to also check if a remote claims an url. Finally, I put together a quick demo external remote using this new interface. [[special_remotes/external/git-annex-remote-torrent]] adds support for torrent files to git-annex, using [aria2c](http://aria2.sourceforge.net/) to download them. It supports multi-file torrents, but not magnet links. (I'll probably rewrite this more robustly and efficiently in haskell sometime soon.) Here's a demo:
