My RSS Setup

if anyone is interested in my rss setup,
here it is. i am using rtorrent with a
perl script to download from the rss url.

for rss, i found a script here:
http://lingcog.iit.edu/~scubed/projects.xml
called rss title. i set it to follow the rss
from this site and save into my torrent directory
whenever the name matches a show that i like.

the configuration looks like this:
(angle brackets and urls replaced due to forum rules)
----------------------------
[config]
[rss]
[url-]http://www.eztvefnet.org/rss.xml [/url-]
[ext].torrent[/ext]
[minsize]200[/minsize]
[/rss]
[dirs]
[dest]torrent[/dest]
[/dirs]
[headlines]
[hl]
24
[has]720p[/has]
[/hl]
[/headlines]
[/config]
----------------------------
so i can automatically get the high definition matroska
episodes of 24.

rtorrent from
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/
is configured to check that directory with
this line in .rtorrent.rc:
schedule = watch_directory,100,180,load_start=torrent/*.torrent

this way the torrents are automatically downloaded from the rss
and then rtorrent automatically downloads those files,
and they are all ready for me when i check.

or, click on the "rss tutorial" link in the blue ribbon at the top of this page.

i think i like that one better mate, sorry.

the above is a good way to use rss feeds with a client that doesn't support
them natively. there are other clients than utorrent & azureus out
there, after all, and many good reasons for their use 😉
