One of the new features of BitTorrent is RSS torrent feeds. Once configured it can automate the downloading of torrents such as TV Shows where new episodes will be downloaded as soon as they are available.
This quick guide will show you how to get setup and downloading in minutes.
1. Get the latest µTorrent Client.
2. Check out http://tvrss.net/shows/ to see if your favourite tv shows are listed. If a chosen tv show is listed and the last episode was released is within a week it is a safe bet that they are currently airing new episodes every week. Notice [EZTV] and/or [VTV] next to the episodes. These indicate which RSS feed the episodes are available from and helps to stop you downloading duplicate episodes.
3. In µTorrent goto Options | RSS Downloader… and click Add to enter in a new feed. If the tv show you chosen has either [EZTV] or [VTV] next to episodes enter in “http://tvrss.net/feed/eztv/” without the quotes. If it only has [VTV] next to the episode also enter in “http://tvrss.net/feed/vtv/“.
4. Now to setup which tv shows you want to download. In the Favourites tab click Add, in the text box that pops up enter the name of the tv show.
For the Filter: box, enter in the name of the tv show followed by a *, if the name has multiple spaces enter ? for each space.
For the Not: box, enter in *HR*|*H*264|*x*264*|*IPOD*|*720p* which makes sure that you dont download duplicate episodes in different formats.
For the Feed: drop down, choose the matching feed that the episode corresponds to [EZTV] or [VTV].
Fill out the remaining empty fields with the relevant information. The checkbox next to the names indicate if the filter is activated.
Also clicking on the Releases tab shows all the tv shows available at the time on each rss feed. You may add any of them to the filters to have them downloaded or simply just double click the episode to start downloading.
You are done! leaving µTorrent running will make sure that newly available episodes will be downloaded automatically.
