torrenter - Simple tool for downloading torrent files from a

[Bjornemann]

Hi guys!

Just wanted to share a short application I wrote to download torrent files from an RSS-feed and store them to a directory. I've used Automatic to download torrents from showrss.karmorra.info and store them in a directory Transmission listens to. Lately I found out that Automatic isn't doing the job anymore, so I decided to write my own substitution in go. It is a tiny application that checks the RSS-feed you give it every n seconds and downloads any new torrents found. These are stored in a directory you specify, hopefully the same one that Transmission listens to.

Check out the source code at https://github.com/fjukstad/torrenter and try it out on your ReadyNas! I'm been running it for a short week now, and it hasn't caused any trouble yet.. Please note that I wrote this piece of software in a night, so submit any issues to the github repo and I'll have a look!

Cheers,
Bjørn

Thanks. I am in the same situation you were. I am trying to get this installed now (not sure I have go installed properly, yet).

I noticed the notes indicated this is only functional with magnets. Is that accurate? Will it not function with torrent files?

Hi,

It's correct that it will only work with magnets, since it's what http://showrss.info/ is using in their RSS-feed. If you'd like me to add support for another feed, just post it and I'll see what I can do!

Is your app still available?

Thanks!

Hi! I made the repo private, but send me a pm with your e-mail and I'll send you the source code.
