Associate Magnet links with Fatrat download manager (Fedora 17)

Fatrat download manager is my preferred choice when it comes to managing downloads. It allows me to handle regular downloads, linux torrent downloads and more through a single interface.

Magnet links are seeing wider adoption these days.

Following changes were needed to get this to work. For brevity, I have only shown the modified lines here.

1. Modify the following file:
/usr/share/applications/fatrat.desktop
2. And here... /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
3. Followed the instructions here to add magnet support in Firefox
