Nucleus

Posted by Adam Curry, 6/7/04 at 3:42:51 AM.

I tried out Ray's Nucleus bittorrent aggregator. Awesome! Although it's far from anything a plain old user would want to use, since it's command line setup and execute only.

Now that it's on my machine and config'd, I'll never have to think about it again, just watch my favourite TV shows roll on in.

A nice additional feature Ray might add in future releases is a notification system, so you don't have to check the folder for new shows.

I'd also like to be able to add more bittorrent rss feeds to the aggregator. I have a whole list that Marcus is working on in his bittorrent aggregator.

Something intriguing about bittorrent is that most users appear to be using it for distributing carfully recorded tv shows with all commercials nuked. Personally I wouldn't mind if they left the ads in, but that's not the current culture of bt media files.

Developers, please note Ray's plea: "TVTorrents RSS Feed and LegalTorrents.com both work with Nucleus. Checking the link tag is a hack on my part, I wish more people would support enclosures as its proper RSS form to do so."
