RSS-torrent [1] is a command line broad-catching program that downloads selected torrents from an RSS or Twitter feed and puts them in a directory for your bittorrent program to download. The torrents to download are selected using filters that look at the name, size, and episode/season of the torrent. A mechanism is in place to prevent double downloads. RSS-torrent can even send an email when a new episode is found.
RSS-torrent is released unter GPLv3.
The popular bittorrent client uTorrent on windows platform is now available as beta for Mac OS X.
Bitflu [1] (under The Artistic License [2]) is a free BitTorrent client. The client was written in Perl and is designed to run as a daemon (7×24h , like mlnet) on Linux, *BSD and maybe even OSX.
* Multiple downloads
* Designed to run as a daemon/No GUI: You can connect to the client via telnet and/or http (AJAX)
* Security: The client can chroot itself and drop privileges
* Bandwith shaping (currently only upload)
* Crash-Proof design: Crashes or a full filesystem will never corrupt your downloads again
* Non-Threading/Non-Forking design: All connections are handled in non-blocking state using a dynamic select loop
