My continued dorking around with python has led me to the creation of a script that can download torrent files from a rss/atom feed, and spawn enhanced ctorrent instances that retrieve the files the torrent references. It can be found on the feed2torrent page.
Please note this hasn't really been tested on anything other than my FreeBSD system at home, thus it being beta.
And I haven't tested with too many feeds, so email me (email on site) if your torrent files aren't being recognized (please send an URL of the offending feed).
Also, I'll be leaving on a business trip this weekend (Feb 11th) and may not be terribly responsive to support requests next week (but send them anyway).
That said, it works great for me.
FYI, using CTCS is a must, but not required.
