HOW TO: Use RSS/uTorrent to download TV

Nice thing about uTorrent is that it has an rss-feed downloader built in. That being said all you need is uTorrent.

Configuring RSS Downloader with a site

Start up uTorrent. Open RSS Downloader. This can be done one of three ways:

A) Go to Options->RSS Downloader B) Hit CTRL-R C) Click on the RSS Button (see picture below(circled in red)) This will bring you to the following: Click on the ADD button to create a new site. You only need to fill in the following URL information: Also, there is a trailing semi-colon (; at the end of the feed. Now, your feed should look like this: That's it for th feed portion. Now, lets go see if we got it configured correctly. Go to the tab called Releases. That tab should look like this: Now, Click on the Update button (circled in red), and you should get the following: If it does, great! If not, go back through my notes and see what might have gotten messed up. Configuring what files to grab Ok, now that we can see the files on the site, it's time that we configure our filters to grab what we want on a continious basis. I do not know all the ins and outs of every little detail but, everything I will give you should get you the basics working. As I learn more or hear from the community, I'll update this file with the relavant info. Now, go click on the Favorites tab (circled in red), then click on the Add button (also circled in red). When you clicked on the Add button, the word New Filter shows up (see below). Type in the name of the show you are building the filter for (in my Example Battlestar Galactica). Now,lets fill out the information to the right. Sorry about the size of the image but, felt it important be able to read. Ok, now, each field is as follows: Filter: - Name of the show you are interested in. The asterisk * is a wild-character, the ? is for a single wild character (like the periods you get in a show title from the torrent) Not: - What you do NOT want to match on. In my case, I do not want to download versions of the show that are AC3 encoded. Save in: - The location to save the download. This can be different for each torrent if you wish. Feed: - This is which feed you want to use. You can actually set up multiple sites back in the site list, this drop-down field allows you to either select a specific site to get it from, or search all sites. Of Course, I don't know of any sites other thatn Revo Quality - No help here.... Episode Number: - (Checked)This is useful in that it will only grab the Episode number going forward from what you put in. I have read up on this a little bit. Looks like you can actually put the value in as one of two ways: 3x08 or S03E08 (which is how the torrents are written now a days). The hyphen at the end is to go through what episode. In the example, this will go through season 3, Episodes 8 through 26, which is written as seen in the image. Filter matches original.... - (Checked) Needs to be checked is all I know. Give download highest... - (UnChecked) ? Smart ep. filter - (Checked) This is the episode filter which makes sure not to re-download the same file if muiltiple copies showed up on a server. Minimum interval: - Donno... Label for new torrents: - Beats me... That's it! We are finished.
