jDlBot!

jDlBot is an RSS feed and web scraper that finds and sends links to jDownloader.

Not maintained any longer

I switched to using flexget together with jdownloaders folderwatch extension. In principle, this setup works very similar to jdlbot except that you configure it vie a yml config file instead of a web interface. Flexget is also working on a web interface (which I am not using myself). Therefore, I am unfortunatley not maintaining jdlbot any longer.
