Hi all,
I would like to submit for your approval, this Ruby script that I have written! I use it to organise my torrent collection without significant user interaction. I wrote it to behave in these specific ways:
I would really appreciate some feedback on this script. I'd be most grateful if someone tried it out! Does it look like a niche can be carved out for something like this or are there already enough "media managers" for XBMC?

I would like to submit for your approval, this Ruby script that I have written! I use it to organise my torrent collection without significant user interaction. I wrote it to behave in these specific ways:
- leave downloads intact for seeding, and create relative symlinks at destination
- base the symlinked location of a download on its file listing, as recognised by some regexes
- do not bother linking to individual files, but rather, link to an entire torrent and let XBMC do recursive scraping with the aid of extra regexes
- keep a list of already-processed downloads in a file and skip these in "abbreviated" mode
- when a download seems to have been deleted since last time, or the script itself has changed, delete all "orphaned" symlinks in the destination directory
I would really appreciate some feedback on this script. I'd be most grateful if someone tried it out! Does it look like a niche can be carved out for something like this or are there already enough "media managers" for XBMC?
