The problems are not in your .torrent file. 

There is another client available through apt-get: bittornado. It is
less work installing and you are more likely to avoid software
conflicts.

Two ways of starting a torrent download. 
1. Start the torrent client (bittorrent, bittornado, azureus, etc.)
and open the file from there.
2. Use konqueror, or another filebrowser with  fileascociasions (sorry
my bad spelling) pointing to the bittorrent-client for .torrent files
, it willl do doubleclicking the file there.

Good luck, Vegard
