RD is dead; long live RD!

When that blue "DL with RD" button is clicked and turns to "RD (100%)", DMM saves this torrent's information so that other users will know that this torrent is cached.

This is the solution we've designed to cope up with the loss of instantAvailability endpoint. I didn't expect it to work so well, especially now that I've bought 2 new RD subscriptions that powers up bots checking every hash in the database if they're cached.

After 72 hours of releasing this feature, here are the numbers:

We've found 704 TB of cached content - remuxes, season packs, etc. These are from 26,029 torrents.

We're also tracking hashes that will end up with a download error. So far we've identified 10,586 of those torrents.

Take note that if a torrent is cached, it enables casting (with DMM Cast Stremio addon) and watching it directly without adding it to your library.

Thanks to those who donated their time and effort clicking those DL with RD buttons. Expect more tools to ease up finding more cached torrents for everyone's benefit.
