Adding downloading_time parameter

[dantebarba]

Hello,

One of the issues that I came across when using autoremove-torrents, is that there is no way to measure the elapsed downloading time. This has been somewhat discussed in issue #87. Fortunately there is a solution for transmission at the moment. I don't know if this can be implemented with other download clients. They all have the "seeding_time" parameter, so they should have the downloading_time parameter too am I right?.

Why do we need downloading_time?. Well in my particular case I use autoremove-torrents to deleted stalled or slow torrents. Without the possibility of accurately measure time (last_activity starts in a very low value and create_time starts measuring when the torrent is added not when the torrent is downloading, so it's useless too), it's impossible to filter these torrents. With downloading_time I could specify a condition that is "downloading_time greater than 900 secs and average_downloadspeed lower than 512 kb/s" and all torrents that are slow or not downloading at all for more than 15 minutes would be removed.

This is broken in certain circumstances... some objects have it, others don't.
