Request: FlexGet (RSS and others for usenet and torrents)

I'd like to request a FlexGet based addon for two reasons:


    - It has alot of powerfull RSS and RSS-like features for both bittorrent and usenet programs, afaik unseen in other programs. See the quotes below.
    - So far I haven't succeeded in getting it to work, post here. The problems might be python 2.4/2.5 related, but I'm not sure. I couldn't find any info of other people running it on a readynas either, though I suspect it shouldn't be that hard to get working with proper readynas specific instructions.


Introduction

FlexGet is a multipurpose automation tool for content like torrents, nzbs, podcasts, comics, etc. FlexGet is able to handle different kinds of sources like RSS-feeds, html pages and even csv files. There are even some plugins for sites that do not provide any kind of useful feeds.

There are numerous plugins that allow utilizing FlexGet in interesting ways and more are being added continuously.



Features

  • I'm totally all for this.
    I will gladly donate some funds to this. I just posted something about this since I use Transmission for my main client. It would be awesome to setup RSS feeds for it.
  • Oh hell yeah! The FlexGet folk are actually working on a Web UI for it too.
  • Nice to see I'm not alone with this proposal! :)
