I'm creating a torrent download box using deluge. The problem is, deluge doesn't seem to have its RSS plugin built into it anymore, but it does support auto downloading by putting torrents in a folder that deluge will watch. I now just need an RSS program to download the torrents from an RSS feed with support for regular expressions. Does anyone have any good ideas?
I would prefer not to use ktorrent at all, although even when I tried testing it out, I couldn't find its RSS capabilities.

If the RSS feed gives direct links to .torrent files, you could set up a cron job to automatically download the latest item ever 24 hours or so and place it in Deluge's auto-add folder.

I suppose that could be an option. But with these torrents, time is ratio. I need the torrent no later than 5 minutes after its released. And i'm not quite sure how to write a cron job
Can I have a cron job run every 5 minutes?

Skip that crappy deluge client and install rtorrent and rssdler and you'd be fine.

Yes, you can. The Arch Wiki doesn't have a guide on cron, but the Ubuntu Wiki has a guide here that should help you.
If this is a machine with low specs, you could get by with rtorrent. The only reason I don't use rtorrent day-to-day is because I'm not smart enough to figure out how to limit connections. You could use rtorrent + rssdler and be just fine.

That rssdler looks good! And I'll check out Ubuntu's cron wiki. Thank you!
