Description

When an user drops a file (e.g. an mp4 file), for some seconds depending on the file size, webtorrent desktop seem to be stuck doing nothing. It can also be a long wait. So the user could think the drop was unsuccessful.

My idea is that the dropped file's div can be showed immediately after the drop and, until the torrent file is ready and the seeds begins, it can show a progress bar and some random text (using a module like https://www.npmjs.com/package/randloadr).

In this way the user knows webtorrent-desktop is working in background. This is just an idea... I'm surely not able to implement this without messing up the code. But maybe someone could like the idea and work on it.
