I fleshed out an auto-magick torrenting application to run on a RaspberryPi using the mono-framework and C#. Unfortunately this was during some very turbulent stages of the The Pirate Bay's existence and I resorted to fleshing out my own API that very quickly became obsolete. It was neat for about a day.

Cool! I've tried to use my rPi as a torrenting box but it's too slow with a few 100 torrents running, sickrage and couchpotato. Instead i'm using an old macbook with a broken screen to handle it all for me.

But CP never symlinks right for me and almost never gets the right movie. I don't even care about the quality. So I figured I can write a tool that does this just using an imdb user list. And I'm only concerned about torrents at the moment so I don't need all that usenet stuff.

Hoping that it'll be pretty straight forward.

RottonTomato has a sick api for movie listings.

I always forget about RottenTomatos. But they don't have an android app eh? At least I can't seem to find an official one. My goal is to use a third party app to add movies to a list and have those be downloaded lol.
