[GRLUG] Torrent RSS question

[Michael Greene]

Azureus, uTorrent, Democracy, etc... all have RSS integrated into them
and are easy to use with their GUI.
The only reason to use TVrss is if you don't have one of these clients.
TVrss is configurable after you run it.  Unfortunately it doesn't have
a man page or any FAQ I can find on the Internet after a brief search,
but basically when run it will ask you the path to your bittorrent
client executable, the URL to the RSS feed, and a regex to match.  It
accepts any client, it just passes the URL to it.  You will want to
look at http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/54.html for reference to the
official client's command line parameters.  I haven't used this, so I
can't give you explicit instructions, sorry.
