xeroxmalf··on IsoPlex: Popcorn time alternative maintained by Isohunt
Not quite as easy, but kind of similar in function to what you are looking for is a program called headphones[0]. It is a usenet based auto-downloader akin to sickbeard[1] or couchpotato[2]. Point it at your collection and it will automatically search out new releases at timed intervals.
