You are right, but the advantages of the packages we provide is that they're pre-configured and therefore work out-of-the-box. Also:
- I've compiled transmission as lightweight so is uses less resources
- I've patched nzbget so you can set a custom username
- I've patched sickbeard and couchpotato so it supports a custom username for nzbget
- I've patched headphones so it has nzbget support. Which the official port of the program doesn't have.

So, the advantage of the above is that all packages have the same username and password. Also, all packages can use the same download programs as in transmission and nzbget.

Quote:Does your solution also support Flexget? I am used to not downloading anything manually; every tv show episode downloads automatically when available via my uttorrent+rss feed. Using Transmission, this is possible via flexget. Then all it takes is 1 textfile containing the configuration for flexget, listing the tv shows to download, the rss feed, download location etc. Would be great if this textfile was just available to edit anywhere in my home network. I will receive my Raspberry Pi soon and test all of this out.

Anyone here already have a succesfull torrents-via-rss setup?

There have been for about 1,5 months of discussing and testing and this is what I came up with following these advices/wishes. Instead of utorrent and rss, we use sickbeard + transmisison and nzbget.
