Utorrent Feed Reader Tutorial
I had read about feed readers in torrent client but never really knew how to use them. It was hard for me to understand those difficult tutorials. Atlast now I have understood how to use them and I thought why not put it up as a post. This is a very simplified version of tutorial that I had found somewhere which is not in public domain.
So here is the Guide:
1. Click on the RSS icon in the toolbar, or select Options/RSS Downloader (Ctrl R). Click on the first tab - Feeds.
2. Click Add and enter your feed URL
Before clicking OK preface the URL with NAME| i.e. Name|http://URL (No space before or after the | ). This just means that the feed is referred to by the name you gave elsewhere in the settings, rather than the full URL each time.
3. Click on the Favourites tab. Here we create filters to act upon the feed.
4. Click on Add button, and in the left hand sub-pane rename New Filter to whatever you want e.g. ShowName or something.
5. Now we can fill out the Filter Settings sub-pane on the right.
6. On the Filter line we add the keywords that will match with the specific show from the feed. Capitalisation is not important - upper & lower case are treated the same.
For shows with simple, consistent names we only need one or two word expressions
e.g. showname
or Show Name or anything similar.
If the name is too ambiguous or variable then we do need to be a little more careful e.g. ShowName /ShowName Second life or something
If that’s the case then simple in the Filter line put ShowName Second life or ShowName and in the NOT line put Second life if you dont want the second life.
7. Because of the lack of a global Fail filter we need to add the file types we want to ignore on each filter’s Not line
e.g. *720p*|*nuked*
Add any terms you like here. Just surround each one with * (wild cards) and separate them with a | . USe this specially when you don’t want the Higher quality eps.
8. Once you have the filter working to your satisfaction then complete the rest of the options.
9. Set a Save In directory to the place you want to save it in.
10. Set the Feed to be filtered as a specific one i.e. ShowSite,
or just All
11. Just set the Quality filter to ALL, and let the previous Not entries take care of it.
12. Leave Minimum Interval as Match Always.
13. Set a Label for new episodes if you want one.
14. All changes are automatically saved as you make them, so you don’t have to do anything once you’re done editing.
15. Repeat steps 4 onwards for as many shows as you need. Job done.
Simply whatever details I have left are for you to decide as they are basicly for those people who want to download TV Shows from the Net which they can’t see. It is also simple to do just you will need small adjustments here and there and it should work perfectly.
