RSS for Torrent downloads?

[Spaceomega]

Basically this: I'd really appreciate if there were RSS for torrents (specifically the HD Quicktime), so that you could subscribe to an RSS in something like uTorrent that would pick up the torrent for the HD Quicktime. Think this is possible?


Also, no, I do not want to use the Rev3 Miro player, it uses extra memory that I'd rather not give up.

Thanks.

P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Every show on the revision3.com webpage has a big button that looks like this:

http://revision3.com/wp-content/themes/revision3/images/subscribe.gif

That will open the subscription tab (that is also located under the flash player) and give you the feed options for the show yo are interested in. From there you are on your own. All the feed URLs are in place ... so just copy them into your RSS feed manipulator ofd choice and go for it.

Yes, I understand this. The thing is that there is no RSS feed that has links to the TORRENT files for HD-QT/WMV/XVID/Etc, only RSS feeds that have links to the HD-QT/WMV/XVID/Etc.

The RSS feed would normally look like this for HD-QT:

http://revision3.com/diggnation/feed/quicktime-high-definition
Diggnation - Diggnation Live in Amsterdam
Friday, April 04, 2008 6:00 PM

Photoshop Users are Pirates, Having Sex With A Patio Table, Mr. T Saves Boy, Victory for the Topless Front, 3G iPhone Coming in Months, Redheads Have More Sex, Rats Use Miniature Rakes.
Media files
diggnation--0144--amsterdamnation2--hd.h264.mov (QT video, 547 MB)

When what I'd like a RSS for the TORRENT of HD-QT to look like this:

Diggnation - Diggnation Live in Amsterdam

Understand now?

[tokenuser]

I understand that.

You might want to do some searching (http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15821) ... OK, I get you dont want to use Miro, but what player do you use that doesn't accept a file you can direct download?

The past three things that I downloaded via torrent on here went quite smooth, actually. No problems, so I think they've got that fixed.

It's not that I can't download directly, it's that I would like to torrent the episodes of my favorite shows automatically with uTorrent, a program I already have and use a lot (therefor leaving it open most of the time). I don't see why Rev3 doesn't have this already, seeing as how it could save them bandwidth.

[MAD_JIHAD]

Yes offering torrent files in an RSS feed (at least a torrent of the High Definition file) would be awesome because i don't want to waste revision3s bandwidth.

[KichigaiMentat]

Agree'd. I actually just set up an old computer running KTorrent and a uPnP server, and dumping in .torrents via RSS would be nice. My biggest problem is that I can never find seeds or peers even. These things seem to have a ridiculously short shelf-life, and many of us have to deal with Comcast throttling down our bandwidth for use of BitTorrent (even legal applications like this).

Still, if the RSS is out there, everyone's machines would automatically download the file, and hopefully seed it out automatically (I set my defaults to a 3.00 seeding ratio, but for you, Rev3, I'll bump it up to the big five-oh. I already redistribute Diggnation on the local campus network), which hopefully will make the torrents more attractive, which should reduce your bandwidth load.

It can't hurt to make a Torrent RSS feed, can it?

That's another reason RSS torrents would be great: Torrents would actually be fast for those early downloaders.

I hope someone who can make this possible will see this. :)

Oh, please bring back those torrent feeds! I have the torrent feeds automatically downloaded and moved into the movie folder on my server for my MythTV box. Beautiful system. Fully automated. I just watch these shows on my TV just like a DVR.

We're looking into bringing RSS feeds for our torrents back, but as of right now we do not have an ETA on when that might be. In the meantime, please use our direct down RSS feeds.

Ah, yes, very nice! Thank you very much :)

[Kash76]

Yes, please bring these back!

[jonish]

Just want to add my voice to please bring back the RSS feeds for .torrent files.

[exautt]

I know this is an old topic, but im SOOOO in agreement with that as well. Torrent Feeds Please!!! :D

[thespat]

I, also would like to add to this, by asking to bring back the torrent feeds.

I live in a rural area and I can't get DSL or cable high speed so I'm regulated to use a wireless high speed system. I can only get about 80 Kb/s download and a show like diggnation normally takes a good 3 or 4 hours to download. It wouldn't be a problem but with the aforementioned wireless system my connection is dropped from time to time (and it gets worse in the summer). Many times I can't even get through a full download before I get cut off and I have to start all over.

I love the shows, and I'd probably watch them all if they were there but having to download them one by one is frankly too much...so I'm sticking with Diggnation, TRS, Tekzilla and Systm. I've already dropped Tekzilla daily from my watching schedule.

Bring back to us...bring back to us...bring back to us. (a little Indy Jones humour to get us in the mood)

I would really like to download the R3 shows via utorrent RSS feeds, Any update on when torrent rss feed will be up?

[comhcinc]

ha! update on torrents. nope nothing has been going on with torrents lately

[NickOlsen8390]

man i would really like them to do this. Would give me a way to use more bandwidth, ever since i stopped doing heavy torrents my usage as gotten as low as 10gb a day. Don't want my ISP thinking that its over and i wont murder there connections again.

Plus I could go to work, and when i get home have all my favorite R3 shows downloaded and ready to watch.

[comhcinc]

bump for torrent feed
you should read the rules about bumping

[gimpbully]

erm, you'll have to wait a lil bit while we work on this. You may have read, we've had some problems with torrent trackers lately...

[NickOlsen8390]

Oh yeah, I understand, I'm not saying now, but it would be great to see in the not so distant future.

[legatic]

when are these coming back? this is exactly what I want!

[hadees]

please bring back rss torrent feeds

[AttroPheed]

This definitely needs fixed and the person responsible for removing it in the first place should be sacked. 10 months ago it was going to be 'fixed soon'.


The color scheme on this quick reply box is hideous btw.

you are very clueless. go away and do some research. be really cool and don't come back.

[humanbeing]

I can't actually download the .torrent files for systm or tekzilla, and possibly other shows, too:

http://downloads.revision3.com/torrents/systm/0068/systm--0068--projector--hd.h264.mp4.torrent
http://downloads.revision3.com/torrents/tekzilla/0050/tekzilla--0050--tehbunniez--hd.h264.mp4.torrent

I get server timeouts on both, and I have tried the torrents for the smaller video sizes, too, but I always get timeouts.

[unhap]

i want this exact same thing, hopefully it will be back soon

[hadees]

Any update?
