Well, technically they are not in that directory, but are generated on
request (as the regular mirrors from the requesting user's region are
added as websources)

As most clients suitable for larger-scale seeding allow watching a
directory, just downloading the torrents to that directory probably is
easier.

Absolutely no need to do any recursive reading here. The name is
deterministic. Just append ".torrent" to the regular URL and you'll
get the torrent.

And when you intend to seed the torrent, there's no point in
downloading the actual file using the traditional mirrors.

So instead of trying to parse html (the download-directory listing) /
using recursive wget, just use rsync to get the listing and filter to
your liking to limit the files you want to seed.

rsync -r rsync://rsync.documentfoundation.org/tdf-pub | awk
'/yourfilter/{print "http://download.documentfoundation.org/"; $5
",torrent"}' | xargs -r wget

instead of doing the filtering in awk, you can also use rsync's
switches. But that way you can just create the list of files with
rsync once, and then use the file as awk's input.
