I get fed up with monitoring mininova RSS feeds for the latest releases that contained the phrases “R5″, “DVDRip” and “DVDScr”.
They just produced too many results!
After a bit of playing with scraping of these rss feeds i came up with “Mininova totalised”.

http://www.monkeyr.com/rss/mini2.php?occur=8

“Mininova totalised” searches Mininova rss feeds for the terms “R5″, “DVDRip” and “DVDScr” every 15 mins. The feed titles are then merged to give a list of common phrases with their total occurrence. The data is kept for 7 days to ensure you never miss a thing! Add ?occur=8 to the url to only get results that occur 8 or more times. Now with added data from IMDB (where possible).

Give it a try in your fave RSS reader. Hope someone else finds this useful!

@Ali: I really appreciate your torrent file tracker finder; it is probably one of the most useful bittorrent tools on the ‘net.

@Piratebarn: the issue you’re describing, downloading the same episode multiple times, can be solved through tvRSS or FeedMyTorrents. If you’re still awake when new torrents are posted, and _need_ to have the episode the very second it was released, you should indeed just visit EZTV. If you’re asleep, or don’t care if the download starts an hour or so later, then RSS could really come in handy.

I’ve tried RSS feeds a few times. Never really worked for me, and when it did it downloaded the same ep 2 or 3 times. I prefer just going to EZTV every morning. It has all the shows I want on the frontpage. Much quicker than RSS I reckon

@Jasper van Weerd: the main feature of FeedMyTorrents is not much more than a no hassle tvRSS (which I still tend to like a bit more), but the own RSS feed feature is indeed very welcome.

A suggestion: use Opera to read feeds. It’s very comfortable and reliable.

@Roze: very much true. Their FAQ says this:
“ARE RSS TORRENTS SAFE TO USE?”
We like to think so, because we use these feeds ourselves. They contain only links to the TV show you choose – nothing else.

But just to make sure – configure your BitTorrent client to queue the torrents received through RSS feeds, don’t let them be started right away. After all, you’re trusting us enough to let your computer download the files we pick – you should think twice about letting it process them automatically too.

We strive to provide quality & safety – but to you, we’re still strangers. You can trust us, because we’re all nice guys, but we’re still strangers.

@Mojah
It seems that they might be somewhat useful if one knows exactly what is going to go in an RSS feed, but it still seems somewhat haphazard to automatically download files without absolute confidence.

@Nukes: that’s where FeedMyTorrents comes in. Even if the same episode torrent is uploaded several times, the feed will only show the most active one.

@Roze: It’s a choice you make – either select the files yourself, or have it run automatically (if episodes air at 03:00 AM, you can have the file downloaded by the time you wake up).
