Transmission (unless you are on Windows, then I am a utorrent fan).

rtorrent + rutorrent is a pretty nice solution.

than again, it's a matter of taste... So many solutions to choose from.

I have a different win xp machine using utorrent apart from my xbmc revo.

Utorrent checks my rss feed for tv shows and automatically dl's them into a tvseed directory with the !ut extention until the dl has completed, then it renames it to the original filename. I then have eventghost monitoring the tvseed folder for renamed files and copies it to a tvcomplete directory.

Evenghost then calls TheRenamer which fetches the files in the tvcomplete dir, renames them using tvdb.com naming conventions and moves them to my XBMC Revo external drive and sends an update library command via http (I know http cmds are depreicated, but I don't know how to do it in json yet.)

After the torrent seeds for a specific ratio, it gets removed from utorrent via a perl script.

Having said all that, I would like to take the win xp out of the equation and am determining the best way to do all of this on the xbmc revo using ktorrent(?) and hard links .. I have some learning to do.Huh

Wow, that is extremely automated! I am hoping to set up something similar to that in the near future.

Like this...
Quote:curl -i -X POST -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.ScanForContent", "id": "1"}' http://10.1.1.113:8080/jsonrpc
curl -i -X POST -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioLibrary.ScanForContent", "id": "1"}' http://10.1.1.113:8080/jsonrpc

At least that's how you can do it in a single line with curl. You're just sending it a json object with a couple of parameters.

It's a nice interface.

So if I bring up a cmd line a type that in, it will update the library?
How can I send that command remotely to the xbmc?

Assuming you have curl. Curl is very standard on Linux and OSX. It's a useful command line tool for making complicated http requests, much like the JSONRPC stuff added to XBMC Dharma.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=JSON_RPC tells you the commands. With the code I posted you should be able to get an idea on how to make any other of the calls. Returns are a bit different.
