Comment 1 for bug 195002

I believe the source of the problem is the wrapper found in /usr/bin/ktorrent-kde4. It was originally:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/lib
export KDEHOME=~/.kde4
export KDEDIRS=/usr/lib/kde4
export PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/bin:$PATH
/usr/lib/kde4/bin/ktorrent

I changed it to:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/lib
export KDEHOME=~/.kde4
export KDEDIRS=/usr/lib/kde4
export PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/bin:$PATH
/usr/lib/kde4/bin/ktorrent $@

Now it passes on the torrent URL perfectly.
