Run poller

Run poller.py. It will keep scanning the database to look for new announced episodes and download released torrents for released episodes.

python poller.py

Dependencies

• python3.x
• kat: A library to interface with KickAssTorrents.
• Beautiful Soup 4: Python library for pulling data out of HTML/XML files. Used by tvshows.py and libtpb for parsing the data from tvrage.com and thepiratebay.org.
• aria2: For now, only the aria2 downloader is supported. You may submit patches to support additional downloaders. Will only need to add a new downloader in torrentdl.py and make changes to how it's used etc.

Notes

• The episodes will download to the default download directory in aria2.
• Simultaneous downloads limits, upload speeds, download speeds, continuing downloads etc. is all taken care of by the downloader.
