Automatic allows you to set up subscriptions for virtually any content linked in RSS feeds: podcasts, videocasts, torrentcasts... Rule of thumb: if it ends in '-cast', you can get it with Automatic.Once set up, there's nothing else to do but sit back and wait. Automatic will fetch and deliver the latest content for your subscriptions right to your download folder, so all that's left for you is to find some time to enjoy it!
What's New
Version 2.3.2:
  • Added an 'Advanced' option sheet in the General pane to control magnet and post-processing behavior.
  • Added support for feeds that link to sites w/o direct file links (i.e. download scripts).
  • Fixed a connectivity issue when using VPN.
  • Fixed a crash on Mac OS X 10.5.
  • Fixed constant messaging about non-resumable downloads.
  • Fixed an issue that could wipe the show listing when updating.
  • Fixed a possible "relaunch loop" when Automatic was installed for all users.
  • Fixed some instances where the extensions field for the "Search linked pages" option would not be stored.
  • Fixed download issues with kat.ph and other sites that use torcache.
  • Unrars .r00 files in addition to .rar.
  • If the disk when the download folder resides is not available, try later.
  • Automatic now fills in the name for magnet links when it's missing, so it's easier to recognize the link when it's added to the torrent client.

Sad to hear people say v2.x doesn't work well. I'm still using v1.x (available free on their website) and it's still rock solid and a wonderful tool. Not quite as easy as the newer version looks to use, but a large part of may automated TV Show workflow (Automatic -> Transmission -> Magic Media Marker -> iTunes/Apple TV).

As great.

Not now.

Always have to stop it, and 99% of the TV shows in the list have disappeared.


Look for something else, as this doesn't look like it will be updated.

Good when it works, but for over a month it fails with about 90% of the shows. This has something to do with the RSS source, but the developer is very unresponsive. The support forum is FILLED with complaints "doesn't work", "stopped working", etc and the developer is making vague promises of an update "hopefully" in May.

Great when it works, but the support is unimpressive. I can't recommend it over free alternatives unless there is some support.

I really like this software my only negative feedback is the price. Make it cheaper and I'm sold.

I'm not to sure why this is not showing up here but there is a new version 2. It's not free anymore but has lots of new features. You should check it out!

I currently have automator doing this very same thing and it is already on your mac. I will try this though as automator has a few quirks that this software may solve and it looks a little easier to set up.

Ironic that MacUpdate's RSS feed link gets rejected by this.

I wonder if there's a workaround for this?
