That's pretty awesome. So... how does one convert those records into something you can feed into a client?

You can feed magnet strings straight into any client already.

The magnet archive torrent doesn't actually contain the magnet links, just the hash. To use the hash, you prepend:

  magnet:?xt=urn:btih:

to the hash found in the archive.
