Wanko - RSS Torrent Fetcher
Description
Fetches torrent file links from RSS feeds based on user-specified rules. The links can be printed to stdout or sent to Transmission for download, or the torrent files can be downloaded to a watchdir for processing by other torrent clients.
Installation
wanko can be installed from RubyGems:
gem install kemonomachi+wanko
‘kemonomachi+’ is used as a ghetto namespace, since RubyGems doesn’t support proper ones.
Usage
wanko []
The optional -c switch specifies the configuration directory, which defaults to $HOME/.wanko.
See ‘wanko –help’ for usage info.
Can be run manually, but creating a cron job to run it at regular intervals is recommended. It is not a daemon.
Configuration
The config file is named ‘config.yaml’. The example folder contains a full example config. RSS feeds, default fetch directory, fetch method and rules can be specified. Regexen are used to match torrents against rules.
The config directory also holds ‘history.yaml’, which contains already read RSS items. This prevents fetching the same torrent multiple times.
About the Name
Wanko (わんこ) is Japanese for ‘doggy’. Because it’s small and it fetches stuff for you.
