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.
It has been a while since I first blogged about RSSOwl.
RSSOwl is still my favorite Feed Reader and version 2.0 is still in beta state but quite a good piece of software. I did not much contribute to the project, just filed some bugs and submitted some patches to the project.
Now I started to build a package for Debian and Ubuntu and my scope is to bring RSSOwl 2.0 into Debian. It is not yet perfect, but quite useful.
Feedback is always welcome.
