RFE: Add functionality to download from a txt file of links #222

Description

@thefunkygibbon

So as opposed to restricting just to Mega downloads which lets face it, most people don't pay a subscription for, it would be immensely useful to be able to also refer to a txt/csv of links (or a root directory of files) to other locations for where the files are stored.

For example, using Real Debrid or any other of its ilk, it is happy to parse the mega download location and offer up caches of all of these files and provide a direct download link to grab those files via its servers (so line speed etc)
or someone else has downloaded and is hosting the updates for a friend or whatever.

if we had a txt file of all of the direct download links and could tell the updater to use that instead of the normal mega way of doing it, the script could just download each file from there instead.

I feel the simple support for a txt file (1 file/url per line) would work for many different providers and save the reliance on Mega.

Currently its possible to do this manually by downloading all of the files manually via a curl/wget script which uses that txt file of links, and then I would have to go into the update_tool and install manually from the folder. Would be great to have all that done in one fell swoop.

hope that made sense.
