ls2rss

AFAIK amule is missing notification of completed downloads. In addition to that, me and Godog are sharing the same amule instance and it's cool to be notified of what the other downloaded, it's a bit like the for:someone tag on del.icio.us.

As an issue of my hack of the day series I hence implemented ls2rss.py.

The name is telling: given a directory it generates a corresponding RSS feed. It's written in python, it's meant to be run as a cron job, and takes care of minor details like remembering files that have been deleted since the last invocation and enforcing a threshold to the feed size.

I was unable to find anything like that already available on the net (the one available here is not available for download any longer). In case of need, try mine.
