Offline Download Option Like Youtube #69

You know youtube's app for the phone has this offline download option where the video is buffered and kept for offline use? I think this software also needs something like that.

Also I think the queue should be saved so that ever time you restart the program you dont have to re - stream the video.

Webtorrent actually does store the torrents in a temporary location. If you're in windows, type env into a command prompt to get a list of environment variables and look for the TEMP or TMP variable. Whatever path that is, go to that path and you'll see a webtorrent/ directory where the torrents are downloaded. For instance, on my Windows machine, the path is: C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Local\Temp\webtorrent. It was suggested in #81 that maybe it'd be useful to set this location so it's not as ambiguous. If this is something that is wanted, I'd be willing to open a pull request.

Yeah, there's a path option you can pass to client.add to configure this. :)
