Autodl-IRSSI allows rtorrent to monitor your trackers Announce Channel and to automatically start downloads for you based upon your filters. This is a good time to point out the basic differences between RSS and IRSSI. With RSS when you set a filter it acts upon the rss feed supplied by the tracker which it grabs every 6-30mins and acts upon the whole feed which could be as many as 100 torrents at once, so it sees into the past as well as the present. With IRSSI it is continuously monitoring a news feed from the tracker rather like the news headlines at the bottom of your favourite TV News program, once the news has scrolled across the screen it is gone forever. So you cannot use IRSSI to grab “past” releases. But because it is monitoring the live feeds as soon as a new release hits your trackers, your filters are applied and the matching torrents are passed to rtorrent to download immediately. | Autodl-IRSSI allows rtorrent to monitor your trackers Announce Channel and to automatically start downloads for you based upon your filters.
