Description of what this fixes:

Existing qBittorrent downloader required magnets to be converted to files, and failed frequently due to torcache availability. Updated downloader to support native magnet downloaders as already supported in the qbittorrent library class.

Never coded in python before - borrowed from working uTorrent downloader for inspiration, feel free to flame me but it works for me locally so thought it best to share.

Related issues:

unable to download files with qBittorrent downloader due to torcache being unavailable.

Existing solution required the magnet to be converted to a file, which is not necessary - change to support direct magnet integration with qBittorrent which is already natively in the qBittorrent client class library.
