Sample config file for RSS Downloader
# lines (like this one) starting with # are comments and will be ignored by the config parser # the only required section (though the program won't do much without others) # sections are denoted by a line starting with [ # then the name of the section, then ending with ] # so this is the global section [global] # download files to this directory. Defaults to the working directory. downloadDir = /home/colin/rss/dloaded/ # makes this the 'working directory' of RSSDler. anytime you specify a filename without an absolute path, it will be relative to this workingDir = /home/colin/rss/ # if a file is smaller than this, it will not be downloaded. if filesize cannot be determined, this is ignored. # Specified in MB. Remember 1024 MB == 1GB # 0 means no minimum, as does "None" (w/o the quotes) #minSize = 0 # if a file is larger than this, it will not be downloaded. Default is None # though this line is ignored because it starts with a # #maxSize = 2 # write messages to a log file. 0 is off, 1 is just error messages, 3 is quite wordy, 5 is very, very wordy. (default = 0) log = 0 # where to write those log messages (default 'downloads.log') logFile = downloads.log # like log, only prints to the screen (errors to stderr, other to stdout) # default 3 verbose = 3 # the place where a cookie file can be found. Default None. cookieFile = ./cookies.txt # type of cookie file to be found at above location. default MozillaCookieJar cookieType = MozillaCookieJar # other possible types are: # cookieType = LWPCookieJar # only works if urllib = False # cookieType = MSIECookieJar #how long to wait between checking feeds (in minutes). Default 15. scanMins = 10 # how long to wait between http requests (in seconds). Default 0 sleepTime = 2 # to exit after scanning all the feeds, or to keep looping. Default False. #runOnce = False # set to true to avoid having to install mechanize. side effects described in help. Default False. urllib = True # the rest of the global options are described in the help, let's move on to a thread ################### # The TMB RSS feed could be grabbed as a whole and a variety of expressions run against it # but I have chosen to save bandwidth and just grab the parts of the feed I want ################### [TMB-EM] # just link to the feed link = http://themixingbowl.org/rss.xml?cat=6 directory = /home/colin/torrent_queue/TMB/ # Set time to check for new EMs, between 3AM and 9AM on Saturday morning, no point checking outside these times really checkTime1Day = Sat checkTime1Start = 3 checkTime1Stop = 9 # Now, without any of the download<x> or regEx options (detailed below) # every item in the rss feed will be downloaded, provided that it has not previously been downloaded # all the regular expression should be specified in lower case # (except for character classes and other special regular expression characters, if you know what that means) # as the string that it is searched against is set to lower case. # the default value, None, makes RET ignored # regExTrue = None # Starting with regExTrue (RET) # I only want the MP2 versions regExTrue = mp2 # but we want to make sure we don't download anything with nrg in the name or ccd # because those are undesirable formats, but we want to make sure to not match # a name that may have those as a substring e.g. enrgy # (ok, not a great example, come up with something better and I'll include it) # REF from now on (\b indicates a word boundary) # regExFalse = (\bnrg\b|\bccd\b) # the default value, which means it will be ignored # regExFalse = None # at this point, as long as the file gets a positive hit in RET and no hit in REF, the file will be downloaded # equivalently said, RET and REF are necessary and sufficient conditions for a download. # lengthy expressions can be constructed to deal with every combination of things you want, but there is # a looping facility to allow us to get more fine grained control over the items we want to grab # without having to have hundreds of characters on a single line, which of course gets rather unreadable # making use of this looping facility makes RET and REF neccessary (though that can be bypassed too, more later) conditions # however, they are no longer sufficient.... # download<x> is like regExTrue, but begins the definition of an 'item' and we can associate further actions with it # if we so choose # put a non-negative integer where <x> goes #download1 = ubuntu # but say we love ubuntu, and want to always grab everything that mentions it # so we want to ignore regExTrue, this 'bypasses' RET when set to False. Default True. #download1True = False # we could also bypass REF. but we really don't like nrg, but we'll deal with ccd's, just for ubuntu # to be clear, download<x>False is a mixed type option, taking both True, False for dealing with the global REF # or a string (like here) to specify what amounts to a 'localized REF', which effectively says False to the global REF # while at the same time specifying the local REF #download1False = \bnrg\b # we don't want to download things like howto, md5 files, etc, so we can set a minSize (MB) # this overrides the global/thread minSize when not set to None # Default None. works like thread-based minSize. a maxSize option is also available #download1MinSize = 10 #download1MaxSize = 750 # and finally, we can put our ubuntu stuff in a special folder, if we choose #download1Dir = /home/user/ubuntustuff [TMB-Readers] # just link to the feed link = http://themixingbowl.org/rss.xml?cat=14 directory = /home/colin/torrent_queue/TMB/ # I like just about everything that these guys do so I will grab anything of theirs that goes up regExTrue = xill|plugg|bbjunky|djp|mook|glint
