Ted, the torrent episode downloader, is an advanced TV-torrent downloader that makes it easier to import TV-torrents into your BitTorrent client. For both services you’ll need to have an account. Another service that offers custom feeds, not restricted to mininova is FeedMyTorrents. An easy way to add torrents to a personal feed is to use mininova’s bookmark feature.

This can be used to download torrents remotely, so when you’re away from the computer your BitTorrent client is running on in the background. Instead of relying on content from specific users, tags or searches, there are also ways to add torrents to a feed manually.

Detailed instructions on how to do this can be found in one of our previous articles. With the advanced search options everyone can generate a personalized TV-torrent feed in no time. BitTorrent users who want some more control over what appears in their RSS feed might want to give tvRSS a try. Premade feeds are convenient, but impossible to customize. The site only launched recently and as such is still in Beta, but the feeds are fully operational. FMT offers several pre-configured RSS feeds that won’t list any duplicate episodes. There are several ways to import your favorite TV-shows into your download queue, but perhaps one of the most convenient is FeedMyTorrent. Since quite a few people use BitTorrent as a VCR or TiVo alternative, RSS feeds are a great help in automating TV-show downloads. Uploader RSS feeds are supported by The Pirate Bay, Mininova and several other sites. User based RSS feeds might be a good idea if you want to download all the content that is uploaded by a specific user, aXXo for example. The search feed may work well for less generic searches, but in some cases feeds based on torrent uploader might work better. For example, if you search for ‘ TorrentFreak’ the search results will have a link (orange button) to a feed that will send you updates on all torrents that match this search term.

The reason they’re called “search-based feeds” is because they are feeds that relate to particular search terms. Most of the larger BitTorrent sites offer search-based RSS feeds. The most important part, however, is where to find the RSS feeds. uTorrent has published an elaborate guide on its website that walks you through the various steps and options. The process of setting up RSS downloading differs for each individual client, but it’s not hard to figure out. A list of all compatible clients is available on Wikipedia. Bitcomet, uTorrent and Vuze for example all have an RSS feature. There are a couple of BitTorrent clients that are able to handle RSS feeds. Let’s start of with the most important part – downloading. In this article we will cover some of the most useful RSS tips and tricks for BitTorrent users.
