desktop automation in linux (downloading specific files)

[Martiini]

I want to automate uubntu to download, move and delete specific files
specifically, download .torrent files named *ubuntu* from http://linuxtracker.org/
I think this can be accomplished with some bash script, cron, transmission or maybe firefox imacros, rss, vuze ..

if anyone has idea, please post solution

This is what I would do:

Analyze the html code of that page. If it were very simple, I would use wget to get the page, and then a combination of sed, awk, or grep inside a bash script.

If it were a complex page, I would use python with a library called BeautifulSoup that is designed to parse html code.

Once I got the *ubuntu*torrents links, I would use transmission-daemon as a back end, and load the torrents using transmission-remote:

$ transmission-remote -n user:password -a url

Just some thoughts,
Regards.
