Load torrents from folder

[crisidev]

I quickly checked the code and I don't think this is currently supported..

I would like to allow rqbit to listen to filesystem notifications on a folder and automatically add torrents or magnet links from this folder.

If you are ok with this feature, I am happy to contribute with a PR..

Hey @crisidev, it's not obvious to me why this would be useful, I assume something like this exists in other clients? Can you elaborate on a use-case, and describe how you see it implemented from the UX perspective?

PRs are very welcome, but I don't understand the need for this feature, so would appreciate if you shed some light on it.

Sure thing: a lot of torrent clients have a concept of "black hole", which is a directory where another software downloads the torrent definition or magnet link allowing the torrent client to then start downloading torrents without having the other software to communicate with the client via API.

For example this would be useful for software like https://prowlarr.com/, to avoid having to add the support for rqbit API directly inside Prowlarr.

Sounds useful, so, yes happy to see a PR for this feature. Thanks!

I'll try to spend some time on this over the xmas period!
