uTorrent and RSSatellite Tutorial
Penguin February 17th, 2007
I made the switch. I used to be an avid Azureus fan, but now that I’m running Fedex Ship Manager, I need something a little more light weight.
If you’ve used bittorrent, Mininova is a great place for all your pirate needs. According to uTorrent’s RSS tutorial, it says that just plugging in Mininova’s rss feeds won’t work. You need something like RSSatellite. If you go to download it, you get a PHP file. This is how you use it.
If you have a webhost, you can serve the page yourself. Otherwise, you can use one of a few mirrors.
When you click on the mirror, you’ll get three input boxes. The first box, is the rss feed you are looking for, in our case, we’re looking for mininova, which is:
http://mininova.org/rss.xml
if you want to use a specific feed from mininova, say, for the show, 24, you would use this:
http://www.mininova.org/rss.xml?sub=3
You should be able to leave the “Find” and “Replace” input fields the mininova default. If you lost them, they should be the following:
Find:
http://www.mininova.org/tor/
Replace:
http://www.mininova.org/get/
“Okay…”, I hear you say confused. Now, hit the “Replace” button. If you have firefox2, you may see a google page that asks you to sign up for their reader. You don’t want either of these. What you want, is the green link the page serves up, copy this link. If you’re in IE, just copy your location bar.
This is the link you’ll be using in uTorrent.
So, the 24 link should look like:
http://open.backslash.org.uk/RSSatellite.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mininova.org%2Frss.xml%3Fsub%3D3&find=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mininova.org%2Ftor%2F&replace=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mininova.org%2Fget%2F&truncatebeforeslash=0
Happy downloading!
