Robert Heinlein: "Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done and why. Then do it."

With a bit of help from Roger I was able to complete my Folder Action script for auto uploading BitTorrent files. Download it here and save it to your /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/ directory. Then make a new folder on your desktop, call it somthing like 'torrent drop box' and make sure you have Radio UserLand running. Don't forget to change the username, password, upstream directory and category to route to in the script and you should be good to go. Just drop a torrent into the folder and you will be prompted for a title of the file and a description.

Can't find a quicker way of creating a site and rss feed with the torrent files as enclosures.

Roger reports that PulpFiction just picked up the Black Sabbath torrent. Kewlness!

If you want to automatically receive the files from my feed, you can try out Nucleus, which will work on windows and any other platform that can run Python, this includes OSX.

Nucleus is robust, but takes some hand configuration to set up, read the docs carefully and you'll find much joy.

Ofcourse now I'm working on the receiving side of the equation as well, plan is to make it as simple as creating a folder on your desktop and dropping in a subscription file. Stay tuned!

(ps) Since this script works with xml-rpc it should be possible to make it work with other blog software as well, as log as it supports enclosures.
