RSS downloader ability to read from multiple tags within a feed

[satan165]

I am a member of a private tracker that uses RSS for visual 'reading' with the .torrent file as an attachment referenced in the 'enclosure' field.

It looks like uTorrent goes for the <link> or <guid> field first, fails and gives up. So my RSS populates but the links are all dead (the <link> and <guid> fields point to the details/decription page for the torrent. I'd be willing to use RSSattelite to convert the feed but its not a simple enough of a replace that I can use that).

If its possible to handle this situation currently in 1.8.2 then I apologize, and someone please set me right! And bear in mind I have already recommended to the admin that they change the RSS feeds to suit the software, since I feel that most people are probably using it anyways.

Here is a sample of the feed:

<item>
        <title>Squidbillies - 42 - The Liar, the Bitch and the Bored Rube</title>
        <link>http://www.xxx.net/details.php?id=5504</link>
        <guid isPermaLink='true'>http://www.xxx.net/details.php?id=5504</guid>
        <enclosure url='http://www.xxx.net/download.php/5504/Squidbillies%20-%2042%20-%20The%20Liar%2C%20the%20Bitch%20and%20the%20Bored%20Rube.avi.torrent' length='139112448' type='application/x-bittorrent' />

Yeah, they've known about this. The problem is most times there's extra junk in <enclosure>. And usually RSS isn't high on the todo list.

Upvote from me.

Edit: And if they implemented that, they would probably be able to remove the requests/bugs associated such as filesize-before-download and always making Source URL available.
