mdpauley Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 All you need is a web server with php. This script pulls the feed from mininova, replaces some text and then creates a local copy to keep the load off of mininova. Hope this helps someone else...<?php header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false); header("Pragma: no-cache"); header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); header("Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"); function getMiniNova(){ $filename = 'mininova.rss'; $lastmodify = date ("YmdHis", filemtime($filename)); $now = date ("YmdHis", mktime(date("h"), date("i") - 15, date("s"), date("m"), date("d"), date("Y"))); if ($now > $lastmodify){ $s_url = 'http://www.mininova.org/rss.xml'; $o_ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt ($o_ch, CURLOPT_URL, $s_url); curl_setopt ($o_ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt ($o_ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $s_html = curl_exec ($o_ch); curl_close ($o_ch); unset($o_ch); $s_html = str_replace("http://www.mininova.org/tor/", "http://www.mininova.org/get/", $s_html); $handle = fopen($filename, 'w'); fwrite($handle, $s_html); fclose($handle); $s_html = $s_html; } else { $handle = fopen($filename, "r"); $contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename)); fclose($handle); $s_html = $contents; } return $s_html; } $data = getMiniNova(); echo $data;?> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hm, if you've already got a webserver running, why not just output the result to the client instead of writing it to file? In that way, you can just tell µTorrent to connect to http://localhost:port/path/mininova.php (or whatever you name the file). Saves a bit of unnecessary/extra disk read/writes (very minor, but still, more elegant).The functionality behind this is not unlike the functionality behind RSSatellite (on-the-fly text replacement for RSS feeds), only RSSatellite behaves as I've described (output to client instead of disk).

mdpauley Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 My original thought was to post this on a server that I have and allow people to pull from it, but then I started to think of possible legal problems so I thought I would post it for everyone to use on their own. Writing to a file would create a cache so I wouldn't have to pull from mininova everytime someone requested the feed. I've been using utorrent from the start, but I just started reading the forums, I was not aware of RSSatellite (plus I am a code geek ;-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 The only reason I'd suggest this is that µTorrent currently doesn't support local RSS feeds unless they're hosted on a local webserver. µTorrent 1.8, IINM, should "fix" this lack, but until then, the stored file is unusable in µTorrent anyway. Really, though, I never thought about the caching aspect, and when looked at in that way, I guess your solution makes sense Edit: Er, just realized that you're writing to a hosted location anyway :| Nevermind xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdpauley Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Well, did a little reading today and found that if you add "&direct" (without the quotes) to the rss url, that will allow the feed to work in utorrent also...http://www.mininova.org/searchrss.php?search=aXXo&direct-mdpauley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
