Automatic downloading of your favorite torrents

Keeping on top of the latest releases of your favorite torrents and podcasts can be a full-time job.

If you're following several TV shows and podcasts at the same time, then Automatic can help ensure that you don't have to worry about missing another episode. Automatic allows you to subscribe to any RSS feed for podcasts, videocasts, torrentcasts, etc. You name it and Automatic should be able to follow it.

Automatic installs itself as a preference pane on your Mac. The main window allows you to define a download folder for your torrent and a refresh rate to check for new ones. Adding new feeds isn't exactly obvious but it's not difficult to work out either. Click the 'Subscriptions' tab, then click the 'plus' symbol to give your new feed a name. Now click the plus symbol again to add the actual RSS link. A useful bonus is that you can filter feeds according to content by entering keywords.

There's a 'History' button so that you can see exactly where all of your downloaded feeds have come from, and the good thing is that Automatic doesn't consume many resources because it only opens when it needs to refresh your torrents.

Automatic is certainly an excellent free tool for those that regularly follow TV shows and podcasts and find they simply can't keep up with them all.

Changes

Fixed a potential issue with alternate links that could cause a save error, resulting in multiple downloads. Fixed an issue that caused no downloads to occur when placing the separator in the TV Show edit window at the bottom of the list. The Custom edit window should no longer resize beyond the screen bounds.

  • Pros

    • Automatically tracks torrents
    • Filters torrents
    • Consumes few resources
  • Cons

    • Adding a feed could be made a little quicker and simpler

Your review for Automatic
Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
