iTunes BT plugin?

November 5, 2005 3:05 PM

Does a 3rd party plugin exist that will allow me to download bittorrents of podcasts using iTunes 6?

Running Mac OS X 10.4.3, iTunes 6.0.1.

I know about other aggregators that allow BT downloads, but I'm curious as to whether someone has created a way for iTunes to do this.

I don't belive so. Unfortunately.

mds35...I don't understand why? do you mean to pull down podcasts via BT to alleviate pounding on provider's servers?

Response by poster: Exactly, filmgeek. Some of the podcasters I listen to even ask their listeners to do so.

I imagine some sort of AppleScript could be used to call your favorite application to download the file and then add it to your iTunes library.

Response by poster: Hmm...I have never written an Apple Script before. I just may give it a try. Thanks Monochrome.
