BitTorrent and RSS

So over the long weekend I've been working fairly heavily on a python program/script that downloaded new torrents automatically. I used the enclosure spec for RSS 2.0 and the RSS feeds from legaltorrents.com that support the much needed enclosure tag.

I'm not ready to release the script just yet... If you want a copy you can email kier-web at sdf1 dot net and I'll be happy to send it to you.

Now comes the big issue, what other sites support enclosures in RSS? The primary reason why I did this, is so I can download new episodes of Alias, and Macross Zero when they come out - automatically, with no user intervention!

Alas, the bit torrent community hasn't caught up with the RSS community. But when they do, I'm ready <evil grin>
