I would recomment using the "rtorrent" package instead. rTorrent is
much faster and much more efficient and support BitTorrent encryption.
Here is an example configuration file (save it as "$HOME/.rtorrentrc"):

encryption = allow_incoming,try_outgoing,enable_retry
hash_max_tries = 1
hash_interval = 10
hash_read_ahead = 64
port_range = 34000-65535
port_random = yes
upload_rate = 40

You might want to adapt "port_range" (port number range for incoming
connections) and "upload_rate" (upload speed in kilobyte per second)
according to your requirements.

Try putting this (untested) into "$HOME/.mailcap" :

application/x-bittorrent	xterm -e rtorrent %s

Personally I simply save the ".torrent" file and run rTorrent manually
usually inside a "screen" session.

	Kind regards
