I use FlexGet[0] to monitor the RSS feed[1] and automatically download new torrent files. [0] http://flexget.com/ [1] http://osm-torrent.torres.voyager.hr/files/rss.xml Here's my FlexGet config.yaml: feeds: osm-planets: rss: http://osm-torrent.torres.voyager.hr/files/rss.xml accept_all: yes transmission: host: localhost port: 9091 username: username password: password I use transmission as my BitTorrent client. If you use a different program, you'll have to change that a little, but FlexGet has plugins for most of the major ones. > I could also create regular copy of pbf (from > http://download.bbbike.org/osm/planet/ for example, or with osmosis) > there to share it via bittorrent, if someone gives specific bittorrent > instructions for Ubuntu. The script used to make the current torrents[0] is probably the best place to start, though that doesn't help if you're not familiar with shell scripting. I'll see if I can tweak it and then write some general instructions about using it.
