I got all fancy and hacked together a tinydb backend for transmission-daemon to automate pulling from an rss feed. Was using a simple text file at first (to avoid duplicates) but without proper internet service I needed a way to cache the shows until I could eventually download them.

Now I just need to figure out an efficient way to download from them from my Hungarian vps since the cellphone internets are slowwww...

Suggest looking into Flexget. It unfortunately has loads of dependencies, but on the upside it's super smart. E.g. prevent duplicate downloads, etc.

ruTorrent and deluge have many fancy plugins, the latter is also afaik relatively easily scriptable in python.

Transmission is one of the more minimal torrent clients out there, and even the old uTorrent supports RSS feeds.

Only download linux ISOs though ;)
