Hey Lemmy -
I was downloading the KDE Neon edition ISOs yesterday night and noticed there weren’t many seeders for the nightly edition. It gave me the idea to write a program that automatically grabs the .torrent file for lots of FOSS projects and throws them on my seedbox every night, but before I reinevent the wheel, does something like this exist?
Qbittorrent has a Python API so the code isn’t complicated, but with a bit of Google-foo I wasn’t able to find something like this already, which kind of blows my mind tbh. Does Lemmy know?

I think some torrent clients allow subscribing to rss feeds, and downloading/seeding any torrents that get added. So that could be a solution if such an rss feed is available.

Seems like an awesome and useful idea! Have not heard of any project of the kind. Would surely love to contribute if you start
