RSS Downloader

Automate all your TV shows torrent downloads.

µtorrent has an inbuilt feature called “RSS Feeds” which downloads torrents automatically as and when they update. All the major torrent search engines provide RSS feeds for various topics/catagories, but downloading TV shows season after season (which is a #PITA) is greatly simplified by RSS.

Downloading TV shows requires up-to-date following of schedules, searching suitable .torrent files and waiting for the download to finish. RSS feeds automates the first two steps. All you need is a computer,an internet connection and a torrent client (like µtorrent, BitTorrent, Vuze, etc.).

STEP 1: Visit Show RSS.

STEP 2: Register (No email id required)

STEP 3: Select the shows you follow from the drop down list and add them to your list.

STEP 4: Click on Feeds ( Available on the navigation bar below the ShowRSS logo).

STEP 5: Select the Quality and ‘Do Not Include PROPER/Repacks’ (To avoid duplicate downloads) and click on the ‘Generate’ button.

STEP 6: Copy the link (preferably the 1st) and open the torrent client (µtorrent, BitTorrent, Vuze).

STEP 7: Click on the file menu and select ‘Add RSS feed…’

STEP 8: Paste the feed URL and select ‘Automatically download items in the feed’.

STEP 9: Keep the torrent client running (most clients can be hid in the tray) all times.

Enjoy the automated downloads… Advanced users can right click on the ‘Feeds’ shortcut on the sidebar of their client and select ‘RSS Downloader’ to create and manage filters. The filters allow you to select the download priority and quality. Also may advance options can be tweaked on the filters window.

ShowRSS currently supports a lot of popular TV shows, but if you are looking for something else try EZRSS or TVrss or FeedMyTorrents.
