Using XTorrent’s Tivo Functionality

 

First, I feel bad because I’m just reposting some news from another site, but this is really worth it. When I talked about Xtorrent awhile back, I had downloaded and was enjoying a beta build. However, after getting closer to the final release, I just hadn’t used it as much and didn’t buy a final copy when released. So, this cool RSS feature was thrown in after I used it presumably.

I talked about TVShows within the last week or so. Very cool app that lets you subscribe to your favorite TV show and it will launch your bit-torrent client and start the download for you. Turns out Xtorrent already does it for you. Basically, you find yourself an RSS feed for your favorite TV show and add that in Xtorrent. It will download them for you and add to iTunes. Cool stuff.

The only thing I’d like to add is that this approach requires the user to go out and locate the RSS feed to use in Xtorrent as with TVShows the list is populated in the app itself. You just do a quick filter for “Bones” and you get the full season. I would think that Dave would eventually work this into his app, but who knows. Since Xtorrent is built around ease-of-use (see: bundling several free features into one application), I would hope this RSS feature would evolve to include just selecting the feed from within. Who knows.
