Using UI or Web UI we are able to add a torrent or magnet link. If you add a magnet link, the dialog shows retrieving metadata and then eventually says metadata complete. can we add a API call for this function and only save the torrent at that point? this will help get the torrent file list, and file sizes to check if we need to download or not later with the torrent file. thanks
