I'm trying to setup a recipe to download a torrent file automatically to my Dropbox. Pretty much like this one but with another RSS source.
This recipe works fine if the entryUrl
is a direct download link. But if the entryUrl
is using redirection it only downloads a strange binary file. The extension is good but the added file is corrupted and can't be used.
Is anyone getting such a behaviour and knows a workaround?

Ok here is what I've done :
(solution for developpers. Needs a php server.)
I've writen a PHP script that get the file through redirection (using cURL) and return it. It's another kind of redirection, but it works well with ifttt.
Then I've used Yahoo pipes to modify the torrent RSS feed so each link becomes :
http:// [my.server.url]/thisscript.php?url=http:// the.redirect.url/324pfokT5
it makes ifttt believe its not a redirection and download the good file ! :)
