Thank You.

Thank you, I was looking for how to setup this plugin.

I have followed the steps listed to setup a filter however I the file isnt getting automatically added.

@ferni first of all check if you are properly joining the announce channel of the tracker and if the bot is announcing properly the releases. Maybe your filters are not the problem. If you like PM me the tracker you are trying to autodl-irssi from and we will go through it together

PM sent @masonos

Any example of filters for music sites like Waffles.
