Success! Building Transmission 1.80 From Source on SheevaPlug
I saw the announcement on the Transmission website of the release of transmission 1.80 and I got really excited about some of the features such as tracker-less torrents and magnet links. I was running 1.51 which is what’s in the Ubuntu Jaunty repos. Unfortunately I can’t upgrade my SheevaPlug to any Ubuntu distro beyond 9.04 because there is some funny business on how they’re compiling the arm packages for future releases. Eventually I’ll switch over to Debian but I really don’t feel like mucking around with the serial console on my plug.

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”)
