You can also just use the right-click "Save As" item in the menu when downloading torrents.

also to open torrents with an external application from within opera

tools -> preferences -> advanced -> downloads -> uncheck "hide file types opened with opera" -> applications/x-bittorent -> edit -> open with other application
