Damn! That's always the name of the file we are looking at...

Hmm, you could extract the name from the "directory name" line but
not every torrent file has such a line, e.g.:

metainfo file.: sdfsdf.torrent
info hash.....: 323423842034982304234239487234247923293487
file name.....: dfjasdfjasdl.mpg
file size.....: 426475212 (406 * 1048576 + 753356)
announce url..: http://foo.bar

Maybe you give Firefox a try? ;-)
