Hi!

I am trying to find out a way to download a torrent file automaticly.

A software for Mac that search for the torrent -file you asks for and automaticly downloads it for you.

 

Is this possible in any way?

 

(I want to download the episode 14, season 2 of Prison Break for my iPod automaticly)

HOW?

You see, Prison Break comes out 3:30AM in Norway (night-time) and what I want to do is to go to bed and make my Mac automaticly:

Download the .torrent-file

Open and download the torrent

Convert the video for my iPod

Import the video in iTunes

and sync with iPod

 

Then, in the morning (before I go to school) the episode is ready to watch on my iPod (maybe on the bus)

Azureus can automatically download a torrent file from an RSS feed. Azureus then automatically downloads the file. If Azureus puts that file into a particular folder in OSX, then a Folder Action can trigger an Applescript or Automator action to Convert the video for iPod using some conversion program. Then the action can import the video into iTunes and sync it with your iPod.

 

The Azureus part is detailed here: http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-...-automatically/

 

Use Google to find a TV torrent site that has an RSS feed - most do.

 

Here is info on Folder Actions: http://www.apple.com/applescript/folderactions/

 

I assume you have a favorite program to convert video for your iPod.

I normally use iSquint, but how can that be automated?

When I use the RSS downloader, it only finds 20 torrents to filter.

(*to put it in another way* there are only 20 torrents in the RSS feed)

How to search trough the whole torrent-database with RSS?
