Downloading content using the bittorrent protocol will never be simple enough. There are just too many steps in the process. But there's no changing it, the world is full of torrents. They've hit critical mass and they're not going away any time soon. So we adapt. Roll up your sleeves! :>
Here is a torrent management system for linux users that will give you...
- automatic download of new .torrent files from RSS feeds
- automatic download of torrent contents
- automatic organization of content once it finishes downloading
- continuous seeding of contents during this process
- simple control of seeding of all previously downloaded content
The swiss army knife of tools we'll need:
- v0.8.4 of [rtorrent http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/], king of bittorrent clients
- [flexget http://flexget.com/], king of RSS broadcatchers
- scripts (some mine, some from others)
- screen, cron, perl, php, bash
If you're not scared yet, you're ready to go!
