Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
This example is with torrent files, but it happens for other type as well. If I click on a torrent file from cdimage.ubuntu.com, it is immediately downloaded and transmission is started. But when I click on a torrent file on btjunkie.org, firefox always asks with what program you want to open it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
