I’ve been working on a PERL script that will take an RSS feed from a URL, parse through it and then download the .torrent files forthe shows/movies/apps/porn/music, etc. that you’ve defined in a seperate file.

Step 1: Download the script file here.

Step 2: Edit the rss.pl file to fit your needs.  For example, changing the directory specific variables at the top of the file to match your system.

Edit these to fit with your directory structure

Step 3: Edit the shows.list file to include the shows you wish to download.

Step 4: Enable fluxd and the watch service.

Step 4.1: Click the Admin button in the top right corner of the torrentfluxb4rt page.

Step 4.4: Click configure Watch Jobs and add an autostart directory.  Make sure this directory and the directory at the top of rss.pl are the same.

Step 4.5: Make sure to hit update settings at the bottom of the fluxd page when you’re done setting this all up.

Step 5: Make rss.pl executable with:

chmod +x rss.pl

Step 6: Either run the script manually using:

perl rss.pl

- OR -

Add it as a cronjob.  Because cron works differently in many distros, I’m not going to cover how to set up a cronjob, but this site can help you out.
