Once you get a search result, you should get the RSS link to plug into Automatic. I actually never had to download this show since I watched it pretty much every week.Īnyway, if you click the search button you’ll get a list of all the torrent files EZTV has listed for that show. So they have the example of the (recently cancelled) show ‘Heroes’ helpfully provided here. So now, you actually have to enter in the RSS feed for it to grab from. I hate workarounds but it will suffice for now. After that it only gets the ones that are new. Letting it download everything, then deleting those torrents immediately. What I’ve taken to doing is just getting it all out of the way. There must be a syntax formatting issue on my end. It still went and downloaded damn near everything in the feed. One thing about this – I haven’t actually got this to work, though. If I only wanted all the episodes after Season 3 episode 4 then I would put in 3×05, so Season 3 episode 5 will be the first torrent downloaded. If you’ve already seen most of the season and you don’t need all the episodes, then you can enter in the earliest season and episode number you want to grab in the field on this screen. Checking “Unless tagged as ‘proper or ‘repack'” will tell Automatic to grab the fixed file for you. However, sometimes that file may be bad, and it may be replaced by a ‘proper’ or ‘repack’ version. If you check “Download every episode only once”, it will grab the first one it finds and the others will be ignored. Sometimes depending on a show’s popularity you might get multiple releases of the same episode, or you might get an HD or Standard Def version of the same episode. Underneath that you can set some options such as “Download every episode only once”. Here you can also change the default download folder if you want. You’ll see a screen asking for the description (name) of the show. So you click the plus on the bottom to get started. I was a bit stumped at first but I finally figured it out. Here’s where you enter in the details of the show you’re trying to get. The only other screen in this version of Automatic is the ‘Subscriptions’ feed. This isn’t necessarily where the actual program you download is going to go. ![]() You’ll also set the download folder for the. ![]() ![]() You’ll set the rate that Automatic will check your RSS feed for new entries and download the new torrent. So anyway, once you download Automatic and install it, you’ll have access to it in your System Preferences down in the “Other” section. This could be worth it for the TV Show subscription presets alone.īut for now I’ve got 1.0.5, and this one will apparently run on Tiger (OS 10.4 all the way through Snow Leopard 10.6). Version 2 is not free and costs $20.00 with a 2-week free trial. I think now the latest free version is 1.1.4 (scroll down to the bottom right of the Automatic link above). I use Transmission ( ).Īlso, I use Automatic 1.0.5, which was free. To get this working you’ll need Automatic from coding curious ( ), and of course a bittorent client. I finally decided to automate my torrent downloading so I don’t have to stay up all night to get the night’s TV shows downloaded. I’ve been meaning to set this up for awhile but I never got around to it. ![]()
