Given Lubuntu, Transmission, and an RSS URL which contains magnet links, download all available and every newly-available file.
This is an unsolved problem. I’m just dumping my notes here; they’re not meant to be particularly useful.
Summary ∞
This isn’t natively supported.
Although decent BitTorrent clients will keep looking in a given directory for torrent files to auto-queue, there is no such thing as “turning a magnet link into a torrent file”. So that solution is out. It looks like the client has to natively support this, which means I’ll have to find a replacement for Transmission.
I’ve found references scattered about, but I can’t get a decent phrase to give me any aid.
Anything I’ve seen written on something close to this hasn’t been much help.
The things which claim to do exactly what I want are complete garbage — shitty documentation, confusing, incomplete, nonfunctional. Bah.

I found some basic resources

A config file?
