Troberg Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm trying to filter on episode number, using filters such as "2x10-" (yes, I remembered to tick the checkbox).Most of the time it seems like it's working, but then, sometimes it suddenly starts downloading everything in the feed and I have to clear all the old stuff manually. It even tries to download stuff I've previously downloaded or deleted.Am I doing something wrong or missing something obvious?I have a long list of feeds, and it kind of sucks to have to clear 400+ downloads manually every day...

BD Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I too really wonder how the filters work, I make a filter that I suppose should work, simpelest way in most cases seems to be taking the name from one epsode, replace the episode number with a star, and bang it should work, but sometimes it doesn't. And when I afterwards edit the filter it's kinda hard to tell if I corrected it. It ends up that I make a too indiscriminate filter that also take up a few other torrents, end thereafter there is absolutely no way of telling if a subsequent edit breaks the filter, 'cause the torrent that I need to test it on is already active. A preview function highlighting those torrents that a filter would start, no matter if they have already been activated or not, would really help in the building of filters.It feels like the function is bugged, but it's so hard to work with that it's hard to be shure what exactly is wrong.Automatic feeds could be the next big thing in filesharing, but it needs to get better before it becomes a tool for the masses. I'm glad to be a pioneer, but as it is now I'd say using feeds is more trouble than it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delete_my_account Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 The filter works like an "AND/OR", i think it should works like an "AND".The not filter works also like an "AND/OR" and that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troberg Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Nope, it's not the OR that's the problem, I only filter on episode number, and I still get the same problem.Could it be that uTorrent is unable to parse the episode number (although it is in ordinary s01e01 format)?

Richard Choi Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 There should be an optional column to show the episode information (as uTorrent parsed it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troberg Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 OK, they are parsed correctly, but the filter is still including them. For instance, the filter 4x11- is still downloading 4x10 and 3x20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troberg Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 That's wierd, it looks correct there, yet it still downloads everything in the rss feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 right, wierd ( =bug) ... . r u on the latest version ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troberg Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 The latest according to the auto-update. I use no other filters, except that the top filter (probably 'Filter on' in English) is by default set to *. If it's a logical OR, that could explain it, but I think I got the same result when clearing that field (not 100% sure, though).Edit: Tried again, and it looks like it was that easy (the "*" issue).You should probably consider clearing that default if any other filter criteria are used, as it shortcuts everything else and is easy to miss. I'm a programmer, and I still missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus44 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Be sure and check the Smart ep. filter box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 That's not supposed to be the behavior. * should match everything, but all the other options should be acting as logical ands to restrict the matching further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loydloyd Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Another couple of issues (1.8.2) with the filter is that it seems to ignore settings such as the "download" location, and also any Label provided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
