Feature request - multi-file torrent support #41

We need support for multi-file torents. The engine is great, but this is major feature missing in all platforms.

We definitely need Pulsar to get single files inside multi file torrents. Almost all series older than 1 year are available only in batches torrents. Look at this tracker for example: http://tokyotosho.info/?cat=11

Here is how providers should work:

1 - 1 - Pulsar gives to the Provider the NAME and the episode (i.e. S10E234, etc.) asked by the user. 2 - The Provider scan the trackers for NAME only, and store all the resulting torrents in memory 3 - The Provider extract the file names of each and every torrent he found. Each torrent in memory has a list of files. 4 - The Provider search all the lists of files for the specific episode (various syntaxes... 003, 3, season 1 ep 3, S01E03, etc.) 5 - The Provider returns to Pulsar all the torrent links containing the searched episode 6 - The Provider returns to Pulsar the corresponding file name inside each of the provided torrents. 7 - Pulsar list the torrents to the user, or just pick the first with more seeds. Then start streaming the corresponding file from the selected torrent.

Or pulsar can let user choose one file from provided torrent containing multiple files...
