Whenever in doubt, use Google. The only thing it can't do is remind you where 
you kept your remote. :)

A magnet URI (note: not URL) is used instead of downloading an actual .torrent 
file. As of right now, the easiest way I've found to use a magnet link is to 
copy it in Mobile Safari (press and hold on the magent URI link; Mobile Safari 
should pop up and ask you to open in a new page, copy, etc.), then switch to 
and paste it into the box in iTransmission.

I'm working on seeing if Safari Download Manager (a paid tweak in Cydia) will 
allow setting up a MIME type that will send a magnet URI directly to 
iTransmission.

Go to piratebay.org and file a torrent you'd like to download, you copy magnet 
link offered there and paste it in iTransmission .
