Torrent Download Client Helper Script
This script was created for use with RARBG and the uTorrent and Bittorrent clients as their internal RSS feed and downloaders don’t work consistently. This script supports basic filter matching and Regular Expression (RegEx) matching. It also supports multiple RSS feeds for RARBG. It will keep track of downloaded torrents so as to not redownload them. By default it refreshes the RSS feeds every 15 minutes (900 seconds).
Ensure your download client is configured as the default handler for .magnet links.
This is provided for educational purposes only as example of automating processes, performing web calls and filtering using regular expressions. Links and configurations provided are for example use only.
