troca,

as far as I know, theres is no way up to day,making LMCE showing rared movies.
But things you could do are:
- unrar them while copying them to the linuxbox
- unrar them ON the linuxbox, using the shell and install unrar-free or unrar-nonfree
- creating scripts/template that unrar the files, after your favourite torrent clients finished donwloading.
(some torrent-clienbts offer these "things-to-do-after-finishing-download"...
