Bug Description

Having several torrent clients installed, it's currently impossible to set transgui as the default association for .torrent files in Nautilus. Even though transgui is available as an "Open With" right-click option, it is not listed among applications in a .torrent file's Properties dialog (on the "Open With" tab).

The solution is to modify /usr/share/applications/transgui.desktop, particularly change the line:
Exec=transgui
to
Exec=transgui %U

"Transmission remote GUI" then becomes available as one of Recommended Applications for opening .torrent files, and it's possible to select the program as the default association.
