[IDEA] Temporary directory/name #15

Description

@adocampo

I'm using this bot to download TVShows episodes and then with PyMedusa, naming them and placing on the right place to Plex Media Server to scan the polished filename.

The problem is medusa isn't aware if the download has finished or not, and it "moves" the file when it's still downloading. Medusa can handle torrent and nbz files and it's aware when the file has finished download because it can speak with the torrent or nbz engine.

Amule has temporary filenames, finished with the .partextension and when finish the download, it renames the file so medusa grabs the proper downloaded file.

I was wondering if archivebot could do something like amule does, like put an extra extension like .part or .unfinished or whatever, so those episode managers couldn't handle the file until archivebot has finished download and renamed the file accordingly.

It can be useful as well for those who don't use those programs as with a single look, someone can know if the file was download properly or if it needs to be downloaded again.

If naming is not possible, perhaps having a temporary folder path is easier to implement, so we can have the incomplete and complete paths and those can be each on a different mountpoint.
