kewldude606 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Because this is so specialized, I think it would be best suited for a plugin type thing.My idea is that you provide uTorrent with an RSS feed containing BitTorrent links. uTorrent downloads these links and then makes a new RSS feed with normal HTTP links. More specifically, it starts an http server but only localhost can access it. Then you provide iTunes (or any other not-BT enabled podcast client) with a link like 127.0.0.1/twit.xml and the file points to 127.0.0.1/episode1.xxx.Good idea, right .

1c3d0g Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Because this is so specialized, I think it would be best suited for a plugin type thing....Does µTorrent have a plugin system?No, it does not. This feature will not be added, please do not request it.http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Does_.C2.B5Torrent_have_a_plugin_system.3F :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Well, the rest of the request is valid at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 So basically, you want iTunes etc. to be able to trigger a download through µT by accessing an HTTP link on localhost?This option sounds waayyyy too complex for me. Why not use a program like TVTAD to pass the RSS feed to µT (or wait for RSS support in µT, which I believe is under construction) and then get your other program to automatically sync everything in your completed downloads folder?

splintax Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Alright, hope that sorts your problem out, because the only real difference between that and a plugin for µT is that this incurs another program/tray icon. Sure a µT plugin would be better but I think ludde has better things to devote his time to, and you'd be waiting a while for someone to write that plugin for you.
