It works fine but... Rhythmbox could give the torrent link to gnome-btdownload directly, without passing though Epiphanyso the workflow would be more fluent for the user.

Hi,

It would probably be better to directly download the .torrent file and
then open it with the users preferred bittorrent app, instead of hard
coding it.

Anyway, it looks like there's a way to download albums directly from
Jamendo now, so the bittorrent solution might go away:
