I don't think such a tool exists yet. In any case it would have to be  
done via xmlrpc, because when simply dropping the .torrent into a  
watch directory (as most rss downloaders do) there is no way to set  
file priorities.

So the tool would have to download the .torrent, and submit it to  
rtorrent via xmlrpc. When it is loaded, it would have to set the file  
priorities and then start the download.

It isn't hard to script something like this, but as far as I can tell  
nobody has written anything with this feature yet.
