Private trackers supported? #160

I would like to ask if the extensions support links from a private torrent server like:

https://domain.com/downloadssl.php?id=111111&torr=filename.torrent

I tried to add a link as above, but Download Station only downloads the downloadssl.php file (not all the content from the torrent file).

So I think the extension should try to detect if the download URL points to a .torrent or .nzb file. If so, it will download the file in the browser and send it to Download Station on NAS.

The extension already attempts to do this, but not all sites behave compatibly. Please see https://github.com/seansfkelley/synology-download-manager/issues/146#issuecomment-640121594 for some more detail. In particular, I suggest you ask the administrators of the private server if it responds to HEAD requests properly.

If you can demonstrate that it's actually the extension at fault here, I can reopen and investigate.
