Monitor a folder for torrent files, adding them as they are added (by polling the folder). Growl notifications for import, and only try to reimport the same torrent if the setting is changed, the app is restarted, or the torrent file is moved to a different folder then moved back.

Original code from Steve (brilla on the forums).
