I got all fancy and hacked together a tinydb backend for transmission-daemon to automate pulling from an rss feed. Was using a simple text file at first (to avoid duplicates) but without proper internet service I needed a way to cache the shows until I could eventually download them.
Now I just need to figure out an efficient way to download from them from my Hungarian vps since the cellphone internets are slowwww...
- namibj 8y agoruTorrent and deluge have many fancy plugins, the latter is also afaik relatively easily scriptable in python. Transmission is one of the more minimal torrent clients out there, and even the old uTorrent supports RSS feeds. Only download linux ISOs though ;)

- UncleEntity 8y agoMostly I wanted to learn about databases and I was bored one day so... I kind of like transmission, had it doing its thing on my low-power NAS for a couple years with zero problems. The thing with duplicates was the rss feed sending ~7 days of shows and needing a way for my python script to tell if it had already seen an item or not so I was just dumping them into a log file and searching through it on the next run -- crazy inefficient but it did the job.
