Please provide an URL to such a .torrent file. 
This is basically no bug if the site either sends the file as application/octet-stream or with a content-disposition:attachment header

I'm using BitTorrent protocol all the time and I didn't find any "valid" site that works properly for more than one year.

Torrent file:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
http://tfile.ru/forum/download.php?id=506145&uk=1111111111

All torrent files from sites (really all):
http://thepiratebay.se/
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#bt

They send an attachment header that forces a save dialog. The decision for for the content-type "application/x-bittorrent" is saved but not used with such a header.

>http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
This file should work and should use the saved decision.

For me, as a user, it's absolutely doesn't matter, but what can I do in this situation to turn on automatically download and open torrent files without save dialog?
