Anyone using transmission torrent with their plugbox linux ?

I'm interested in a rss reading add-on so I can have transmission
'auto-download' based on show name...like I had setup in uTorrent on my PC.

Input / suggestions ?

I just installed transmission then and will give it a try... but what I
found was the application "flexget" to do exactly as you are looking for.

If I get a chance tomorrow to config it and get it working with a torrent
RSS feed, I will drop a note here with a more detailed how-to.

Okay... I did get Transmission configured properly... I did have to modify
the configuration file to add a "watch" directory for adding torrent files
automatically.

I had to add the following 2 lines to the "settings.json" file:

"watch-dir": "/home/torrent/addtorrent/",
"watch-dir-enabled": true

If you are doing this, ensure you have commas on all but the last line in
the config file, the file will not parse properly if not. Also, you may
need to have the transmission daemon stopped before making changes. I will
also assume you have already installed and configured Transmission as the
plugapps site directs... this will already show you where the config file
will be, how to get it auto-started, etc... but if you are running plug
linux, you are probably pretty comfortable in those areas...

From there, it seems like flexget is simple enough... just point it to the
same "watch" folder for it to drop torrents, and voila.

If you have any questions, drop me an email and/or post (email would be
quicker).
