Description
We currently add magnet links by parsing the torrent file. It looks like that is unneccessary, and can build direct from the BTIH (which is a metadata field on the _archive.torrent.xml file)

Research direction
Start by locating the code that currently parses the torrent file to add magnet links, then inspect how BTIH is exposed in _archive.torrent.xml. The work is done when magnet links are built directly from that BTIH metadata without parsing the torrent file; verify the existing magnet-link behavior remains intact.
