When I was a PC user I used uTorrent for all my bittorrent needs - no complaints, no problems. The Mac version that was recently released isn't quite as robust and, thus, not the ideal solution for me. Basically I've challenged myself to find a way to subscribe to an RSS feed of torrents that will be automatically downloaded by a particular client. Transmission has no RSS support, Vuze is too bloated / overblown for my taste and xTorrent allows you to subscribe to RSS feeds, but not automatically download them.

So, I did a bit of research and stumbled across Automatic, a stand alone program that allows you to subscribe to an RSS feed an automatically download any content linked in the feed - podcasts, videos, torrents, etc. So, I'm thinking if no one has any better solutions, I'll set this program up to subscribe to my feeds of choice and save the torrent file into a folder that my actual bittorrent client is monitoring, so as soon as a new file appears, it will start downloading it. Not perfect, but a working solution.

Please note, I'm vaguely obsessed with this situation not because I want to download torrents constantly but because it seems like such a simple thing that I'm unable to conquer without a bizarre workaround. It's more about the challenge than it is about the results.
