The problem it solves

You want to watch a specific movie tonight, but searching torrent sites one by one and copying links into your download client eats up time you don't have. You end up juggling browser tabs, checking file quality, and manually starting the download every single time.

Who it fits

Anyone running a personal home media server who wants new movies added without manual searching.

How it works

  1. You submit a movie title as the trigger
  2. The system searches torrent sources for matching results
  3. It selects the best match based on quality and seeders
  4. The file is sent straight to your Transmission download client
  5. An optional Telegram message confirms the download has started
What you get

Movies queued up without searching yourself

You can type in a movie title and have it found, matched, and sent straight to your download client.

What you get

A movie file downloading directly to your media server, ready to watch once it finishes.

What you need

A self-hosted automation server connected to a running Transmission torrent client, and optionally a Telegram bot account for notifications.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
