Feature Request: Add option for qBittorrent to be completely done with a torrent. Like, no checking for missing files on program startup, if marked as such.

I, like many others, like to categorize and tag my downloaded torrents in qBittorrent for easier searching. When I'm nearing capacity on my drive, I move everything (encrypted) over to cloud storage. Though, I like to keep the torrent information in qBittorrent because its all organized there and it ensures I never download the same torrent twice.

With the current qBittorrent, the program still checks torrents that are "Completed" on program startup which causes a "Missing Files" error to occur once I've moved the content to cloud storage and then begins re-downloading it. I completely understand why this is the default behavior and why you might want to keep it as such. Not asking for that to be changed.

Please consider adding an option to mark individual torrents to be never checked again so users like me can continue to keep torrent info within the program, even if the files are no longer on the computer.
