i-sow

Seed Linux ISO torrents by adding new torrents soon after they're created (would probably also work for other torrents).

Usage

Download torrents using:

<install-path>/i-sow <URL>

For example:

/home/user/Downloads/i-sow/i-sow https://archlinux.org/download/

This will look for magnet links first, then .torrent files. If multiple are found you can add an extra argument to specify a unique substring of the desired URI that should be selected.

Regularly Checking

BitTorrent clients like Transmission allow you to auto-add torrent files added to a given directory. You can use this feature to enable frequently checking for newer versions of an ISO.

Using crontab -e you can add the following line to check for an updated ISO torrent nightly at 1 AM:

0 1 * * * <install-path>/i-sow -s <path-to-configured-directory> <download-url>
