How To: Transmission-CLI and RSS

I really like Transmission-CLI for torrents, however it is lacking many features I used with uTorrent. One of them is downloading torrents automatically from an RSS feed. My reason for this is that I love Top Gear. But I don’t have BBC America (or a TV) so my only alternative is downloading it. But I don’t want to have to manually find the latest episode and then wait for it to download. This is a short how-to to get a simple RSS system set up using transmission-cli.

Prerequisites:

  • transmission-cli set up and running on your computer (on debian systems it’s as simple as “apt-get install transmission-cli”)
