Unfortunately the one I have in mind is a private tracker that I cannot supply a link for.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been rather busy lately.

That said, I actually did get to test whether Automatic can deal with HTTPS feeds, and to my surprise, it can.
That's because libcurl is compiled with openssl linkage, so as long as that library is present on your system (it should, Transmission requires it), you can add HTTPS feeds to Automatic.

Please note that Automatic cannot handle authentication, however. So if your feed requires a password of some kind, this is not available (yet). I've been planning to add authentication/cookie handling, but couldn't think of a nice way to do it yet.

Thanks Kyle but I cannot get it to work on my https feed:

1 feed URLs
Read 9 patterns from config file
[load_state] Error: Unable to open statefile '//.config/automatic.state' for reading: No such file or directory
------ 08/11/12 10:51:21: Checking for new episodes ------

I believe the site uses a self-signed certificate. I found a reference to a similar problem here which looks like it has a solution:

curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

But I guess it will require you to compile a new version.

I've already made the necessary changes. Give me until the weekend, unfortunately I won't have the time to release it any earlier.

This is exactly the program I need. Kudos to you for writing it.

I have followed the instructions to install transmission and automatic.
I am able to see the transmission interface via a web page.
I renamed automatic.conf-sample to automatic.conf

Nothing seems to be happening when I add torrents to the rss feed. I never see them show up in transmission.

Im using telnet in windows vista to connect to my NAS and it doesnt support copy paste. What info would you all need to help me diagnose this problem?

This is what I have changed in the config file:

i took the # out from the front of the rpc-host and changed that line to read
rpc-host = 127.0.0.1

i took the # out from the front of rpc-port

url = "www.mytorrenturl.com"

interval = 1

torrent-folder = "/mnt/HD_a2/Media/Downloads/Torrents"


everything else has been left alone

In patterns am I able to use "*" to indicate that everything in this feed should be downloaded?

Also if I add a new feed that contains 5 items, those 5 should show up in transmission almost immediately correct?

That was the problem! Thank you so much for your patience Kylek.

Now to figure out why it pauses every download and says "no such file or directory."

everything looked fine until I hit control+c to stop it.

I get this message:
Error: Unable to open state file '//.config/automatic.state' for writing: No such file or directory

Where do i need to create this file?

Do you think this has to do with ownership? I know my torrent folder and my download folder are both owned by nobody, I am not sure about transmission though.

Looks like you haven't changed the option "statefile" in /ffp/etcautomatic.conf
When accessing the NAS via Telnet, you don't have no home folder, which results in the weird path you mentioned above. Set it to a directory that exists. I personally use the settings folder of Transmission:

statefile = "/mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon/automatic.state"

Ok i dont receive that error when i close automatic after running it in the foreground. (But my transmission still has the error when a torrent is open for more then a few seconds). I will go post over there. Thank you KyleK.

when i run automatic in verbose mode it eventually says [add_to_bucket] bucket gets too large (10), deleting head item...

then nothing

It seems like its not detecting duplicates for some reason. What detail do you need to help me get this working?

Kyle, just confirming that the change to allow the self-signed SSL certificate works. Thanks heaps.

Hi,

Please check this URL. http://rss.thepiratebay.org/101
Automatic 0.3 displays, "Is this really a torrent feed?"

Can't I use this URL?

A fast follow-up: I found the global preference in the gtk build (and it's probably also available in the Mac build), but it's not in the daemon (or even libtransmission).

This means even if you set the limit, adding a torrent either via web interface or Automatic will ignore your "do not start" preference.

There's not that much I can do about it, but I might be able to submit a patch to Transmission that adds the functionality to the server.
