Script Explanation

This script is capable of the following functions prior to autodl-irssi sending a torrent to rTorrent.

1. It can check your available disk space. If your free disk space is not large enough to accommodate a pending torrent, the script will delete torrents based on criteria defined in the script. The script will scan through your torrents from oldest to newest, ensuring the oldest torrent that meets your criteria is deleted first.

2. It can check the IMDB ratings/votes of a movie. The script will prevent autodl-irssi from sending a torrent to rTorrent if the IMDB rating/votes don't meet your minimum requirements.
