Mac Must Have: Hazel

The next little rule is to move torrent files out of my downloads folder. I don’t run bit-torrent on my MacBook Air, but I do run it on my Mac mini that is back at my house. I would never remember to send those files to that machine for download, so I enlisted Hazel to do the task for me. All this rule does is takes any ‘.torrent’ files and moves them to a specific folder in Dropbox. That folder is watched by the Mac mini and Torrent files auto-start once they are detected.

I was doing the same thing with torrents and Dropbox (bonus, I can initiate a torrent download from my iPhone/iPad using Goodreader and Dropbox). This clever trick using Hazel makes it all the better.
