thefirsttear Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hello,I am trying to use an rss feed for downloading. the rss feed, however, links to the page containing the download link and not the file itself. After doing a little investigation I found that the only difference between the "link" in the feed and the file download is that "/download.torrent" is appeneded to the end of the link in the rss feed. for example:link in rss: hxxp://xxx.torrentsite.com/{GUID} <- webpage.torrent file: hxxp://xxx.torrentsite.com/{GUID}/download.torrentis there a way to append "/download.torrent" to the end of all the urls in the rss feed?I have been looking arround in the fourm and I will continue to look and see if I find an answer. If someone already knows how to make this work I would appreciate a hand.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 You need to use an external application to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTHK Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Yahoo Pipes. I do exactly that for one particular feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTHK Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Sometimes stuff exists already, other times, not so much. Try the docs and examples when trying to accomplish a task, here's a sample of what you want: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=7e94947730eba4aeb2dcb35d2aba0fd8You should also clone pipes for yourself unless you trust the person to not trash it or make it malicious.
