feat: sequential download
Allows to optionally sequentially download a torrent - closes #597. Based off @rnhmjoj's patch ported to transmission v4.
A few caveats / open-questions :
- no GUI implementation yet
- no web-ui implementation yet
- defaults to off - should there also be a globally settable-option ?
- usage is a bit counter intuitive (more on this later)
- I'm not a c++ programmer !
The usage can be counter intuitive - e.g. when sequentially downloading the free tears of steel torrent, if I only enable the movie, it will download it sequentially, but it will end with the beginning of the file - effectively preventing streaming the file from the disk with a video-player.
Knowing this, an easy workaround here is to download everything but the movie first, and then the movie. But I can imagine this would not immediately obvious to most users ! I don't see an immediate solution for this - I just wanted to share along with this PR to get ideas.
Thank you !
