Automatic Downloading (RSS Feeds and uTorrent)

[trihuutran]

For those people that are not net savvy, such as our parents, they tend to use DVRs to record their favorite programs. Using these they are able to set the time to record and it is done automatically. This can be done similarly using the RSS feeds on trackers, if the are available. This way you do not have to sit waiting for your shows to be posted, or hitting the refresh button every few minutes. If you do not know what an RSS feed is click on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rss_feeds

To set this up, the first thing to do is find the orange RSS feeds icon on the site
Then select what you desire, TV-HD, for example, ensure the feed type is Download Link, and select your timezone. Then click on the button labeled "Generate RSS Link" You will then receive a URL to insert into your reader, which will be uTorrent in this example. Copy this URL.

Open uTorrent, click on file->Add RSS feed, a window will pop up:
Paste the URL into the Feed URL field, and you can select an alias (rename), which will make it easier to find.

Make sure the "Do not automatically download" button is selected. Click "OK"

Next click on Options -> RSS Downloader.
Click add at the bottom. Enter anything you wish that will help you identify what will be downloaded.

In the Filter field you enter what it is that you want the feed to look for. The "Not" field is used for eliminating items you don't want in your search. For example if you want to download "House" you may want to put "Housewives" so posts with this in the title won't be downloaded.

Next select a folder to save the torrent download.

Then on the Feed pull-down menu select the feed, or feed alias you want to use for this search.

Select the quality you desire, 720p, for example.



The most important item to check below this is the "smart ep. filter" This will prevent multiple downloads of torrents with the same name.

Close the window. Now whatever you want to download will start automatically when it is picked up by the feed.

Thanks for going over this.  I am wonder though, if you have to enter in something for "Save in:"?  I am assuming that this is where the files will be saved while the downloaded is running and after completion.  If you don't, will it use the default download and completed directories?  I am testing and will update once I know more.
