Just focusing on the torrent side.

You might want to look at setting up a VNC server (obvious one) and 
throwing utorrent (via wine) and TED on to it.  TED will automatically 
pull torrents for shows and shove them where it's told to; which 
utorrent can then be set to look at and begin downloading... with 
completion move set to punt the downloaded file to a media store.  If 
you make this .torrent location world writable and exported via SMB/NFS 
you could drop any none scheduled thing your after there without having 
to use a browser via VNC.

I say uTorrent as I've found it to have substantially less overhead than 
the usual Azureus install; doesn't clog my outbound feed as much either 
despite having the same KB/s settings.

To be honest most of what I do I automate via cron, fsniper and scripts.
