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.

I like the FeedMyTorrent feauture better as the webUI, great to have it.

@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).

By: Roze

Roze — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 02:11:23 +0000

Actually, I think that manually trawling is the best thing to do. After all, it’s not more work; it’s basically part of what BitTorrent is about. Indeed, isn’t “choosing for yourself” part of what downloading in general is all about? I suppose that there are people who too lazy to even choose for themselves… but they should learn to be more self-reliant and make choices for themselves.

Ive never really seen the point of RSS Feeds, all they create is duplicate content of articles etc.

By: Jeff

Firefox has built in support for RSS feeds, but like others have said, I would rather search for and download torrents manually.

There isn’t always enough information in them to tell you what quality a given torrent is, and comments on sites normally don’t make it to RSS.

Nice tut, could be broken down further but no need to really spoon feed I suppose, at least you have given them a solid foundation to start with.

These are some great tips.
I use http://TorrentMoon.com to find all my torrents.

By: Ali

Ali — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 20:06:42 +0000

Some nice sites.
I like to get the episode as soon as it’s up, so I like to know when it’ll be airing in the US.

I wrote a little script that checks when the next episode of a show is airing and then it gives me a link to download from IsoHunt.

Check if out:

That’s just how I keep on top of downloading episodes.

@Anonymous

They can allow you to download torrents without actually searching for them.

The functionality is useful but I prefer to check what I’m downloading, read comments, sync issues etc.

whats the point of using RSS?

By: Anon

Anon — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 19:37:41 +0000

RSS feeds on private sites are pretty redundant.

With scene rules files can be nuked, repacked, proper’d, subfix’d etc this can play havoc with auto downloading files.

Also on public sites fake torrents are in abundance so you can’t check authenticity or user feedback/comments like a human would.

By: Nukes

Nukes — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 19:00:55 +0000

The worst thing with RSS is, when you are on a private tracker, and several TV eps. are nuked, and you download 2, 3 sometimes 4 the “same” episode. Is not good for your ratio!
