Automatic RSS bittorent downloader?
Hello Mates
I am trying to find a way (or a program) that will automaticly download bittorent files that are a part of a RSS feed.
I was told that azureus had an RSS plug in that would do just that. However try as I may have have not been able to get either of the two to actaully download anything automaticly.
For now, what I am trying to do is automaticly download the podcast torrents from This Week in Tech. http://feeds.feedburner.com/twit-hib
Are there other simple ways to do this? Other programs that work with bittorent files?
Re: Automatic RSS bittorent downloader?
if they're podcasts you can use iPodder , or most any podcatcher will do it
Re: Automatic RSS bittorent downloader?
Thats is what I thought... but all podcasting software I have come across is designed for downloading audio files (mp3, wma) not torrents that result in audio files.
Re: Automatic RSS bittorent downloader?
iPodder supports BT enclosures, as well as HTTP
Re: Automatic RSS bittorent downloader?
You are right!
However when I tested it out, all the feeds that had MP3 rss feeds downloaded with out a problem, and all the mp3 torrent files just said they were downloading but never actually did anything and got past the 0.0% complete
Re: Automatic RSS bittorent downloader?
thats odd i never had trouble with BT enclosures, only mp3's hanging :blink:
do they have seeders? do the torrents work in a regual BT client?
here is another podcatcher that supports bt (i never tried it)
