Direct download links are usually welcomed, but sometimes they don’t work as expected. For example when the link does not have resume support or when the target server is sending the file at a super slow speed that the download never finishes. In such situations, converting the direct download link into a torrent file can be a life saver as torrent will not be depending (fully) on the speed of the sending server and it can be paused/resumed too. Hence you get more reliable download with faster speeds.

URLHash – Free Tool to Burn Direct Links into Torrents
URLHash is a free online tool which burns direct download links into torrent files. As long as a file has a direct access URL which does not require authentication, URLHash will take care of it and provide you with a .torrent equability in a couple of minutes. Here’s how to use it in easy steps:
Note: Files lesser than 10MB are not supported by the service.
- On your PC or smartphone, copy the direct URL of the file to your clipboard.
- Open urlhash.com and paste the URL in the big bar on the urlhash webpage.
- Click on “Create .torrent” and wait for a while for the files to be transferred and the .torrent file being created.
Download the .torrent file by clicking on the link. Then open it with the BitTorrent downloader of your choice (uTorrent works good).
If the file already exists in their database and a .torrent was previously generated, you can get the .torrent file even more quickly.
P2P + Client-Server When you burn a file, you are making a .torrent equivalent of the file that’s powered by both the server(s) hosting the file (HTTP Web seed) as well as all the regular peers that are downloading it using Bittorrent. We combine both worlds to make your downloads lightning fast.

I have a Torrent app running on my home server that has an outdated but pretty useful web interface. The one problem is that it doesn't take magnet links, only .torrent files. I'd like to continue using this and not have to bother with finding a different program.
Given that magnet links are just a pointer to download the torrent file from the swarm, I'm hoping there's a program out there that will take a magnet link and spit out a .torrent only. I know I could put it into µTorrent and grab the file from the app's directory, but that's a bit roundabout, and I'd like something that will do it semi-unattented. Preferably for OS X, but Linux (or a web app) would work too.

In order to do this, you would pretty much have to do it the roundabout way. A magnet link downloads the .torrent file by torrenting it from the peers, as you've said, so you would basically need a torrenting app to get this done. This could be avoided if there is a site that runs the magnet, downloads the torrent and then hosts it for downloading, but I don't know of any such site.
I solved this not the way I was expecting, but rather I came across sites that cache most publicly available torrents, and provide access to them via the Magnet URI hash. It's fairly easy to create a simple macro to generate a URL from one of these sites for any given torrent (in my experience they don't seem to have a 100% cache rate, but between two or three of them, you can find anything from The Pirate Bay).
The ones I've come across all use the open source Torrage code, and include Torrage.com, Torcache.net and Zoink.it.
Yes, for example torrent-infohash. Install Go, and go get github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/magnet-metainfo. Then execute it:
The torrent file is downloaded via DHT to the working directory.
