Title: rTorrent client (unfinished)

This is as far as I got. As I'm not familiar with Sick-Beards codebase its really hard for me to see what gets passed to rTorrent etc.

You can get rTorrent for Windows here, http://rtwi.jmk.hu/wiki/rTorrentOnWindows#download (guide to build but also binary)

Used this library: https://github.com/fuzeman/rtorrent-python

PS: Something I noticed is when you enter the host url Sick-Beard always changes this to http://, this will not work as with the above lib you have the option to connect to rtorrent via SCGI, eg scgi://127.0.0.1:5000/
