Suggestion

Users will have the option to set storage requirements for RSS Downloader.

Option 1 - Do not download if available storage is below 100 GB (to make sure there's always space left for other things)
Option 2 - Download only if torrent size is less than available storage (to avoid torrent error mid-download)

And if one of these options are checked then either add the torrent but in paused or stopped state,
or somehow create a RSS download queue where it will start download once those requirements are lifted (which requires qBittorrent to remember which titles to download from that RSS and not delete them once the Maximum number of articles per feed has exceeded and also constantly check for available storage and torrent size against each other according to the options checked)

Use case

Scenario:
User with 1 HDD of 1TB of storage, has 1 RSS feed which he downloads everything from (no filter), he will eventually run out of storage because the current RSS Downloader doesn't know if the user has 100GB or 1GB of storage left, eventually the torrent will error out (and will be stopped by qBittorrent) saying Unable to write to file (because there's not enough storage), which will leave the user with a bit of troubleshooting to do.

Another scenario:
This could be used if user wants to constantly have something to watch (RSS for Movies and TV shows) without having to worry about storage (because qBittorrent will not download new titles until the user makes space for them, but once he does - qBittorrent will automatically know which titles have not been downloaded and will download them according to the options selected in the RSS Downloader)
