ttwatch 1.2.0

ttwatch will run in the background and check the database for starred articles. If a starred article is found with ".torrent" as part of the link URL, it will download that file to the directory of your choice, and un-star the news entry. This can be very useful when you have it download to your auto-start directory in Azureus.

The version numbering has been made to mirror the ttrss version numbering for compatibility. So ttwatch 1.2.0 is intended to work with ttrss 1.2.0.

  • ttrss
