I find about 95% of the torrents I download follow the standardized format
of having a folder within the torrent named 'Screens' or 'Sample', with
either screenshots or a 30-second sample video.
For anything that has s01e01 in the title, it makes sense to only download
that folder first, to see if it's worth downloading the full torrent.
It would be convenient if there was a plugin that would check for folders
with those names, and if it finds one, then automatically set all the
files in the torrent to "Do not download" priority, while keeping the
'Sample' or 'Screens' folder at "Normal" priority (rather than the user
having to manually do those with almost every single torrent of a new
series)

Maybe this should be directed at Radarr instead. Deluge is just a download
client and doesn't usually parse download information.

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately that doesn't apply to this issue.
Radarr seems to be an RSS downloader, similar to flexget.
My issue isn't with downloading the .torrent files — flexget does that
perfectly for me already.
The issue is once the .torrent file is on my filesystem, when Deluge pulls
the .torrent file from the auto-add folder, it adds it with every file
within the torrent set to "Normal" download priority. But for most of the
.torrent files that get put in my auto-add folder, I want to start by only
downloading the 'Sample' or 'Screens' folder to see if it's worth
downloading the full video file.
This is something that would have to happen within Deluge, so a Deluge
plug-in seems like the appropriate place for that to happen.
To make the plug-in more universal, it could just be a modification to the
already present Filter plug-in, but make it so the user can set a filter
to only auto-download files with the given terms and set all the other
files within a .torrent's file list to "Don't download".
