Sorry for the delay again.

There's no tool required. As long as you know the hash of the torrent 
you can make a magnet link.

Example:
Fedora 15 DVD infohash: c221142c59abb4fcbffc4da1e2a19719e35a9217
Magnet link: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c221142c59abb4fcbffc4da1e2a19719e35a9217

That's it! Of course, you can get fancy and add the name of the torrent, 
etc. if you wish, too.

Feel free to try it now by adding it to your torrent downloader that 
supports magnet links.
