RSS length too short

[sgorveatt]

Hello fellow torrenters, I have a problem that I'm sure there is an easy solution to, but I can't seem to google it properly to find the answer I'm looking for.

I know it would be best, but I simply can't leave utorrent running all of the time seeding. I do however like to use RSS feeds to have my shows download automatically when I do turn utorrent on. My problem is that my TV RSS feed is only about 10 items in length showing the ten most recently added TV torrents. Therefore if I don't have utorrent running within a certain window of time I will miss my torrent as it will be replaced by a newer one and as a result my torrent won't be downloaded.

So I was wondering if there was a work around to lengthen my RSS feed. For example if I add my feed to Google Reader and look at it say once a week it will show all of the torrents added not just the 10 most recent ones. Is there a way I could export that RSS feed and add it to utorrent or some other solution?

Thank You

I tried using google reader in that manner without luck. I hope your reasoning though is because of bandwidth/isp limitations and not avoiding sharing ;3

You could use the scheduler or transfer caps to control bw usage, and leave uT running all the time so you don't miss any items.

Yeah I don't share all the time because my ISP is a douche. I'm positive they slow my internet down after excessive torrenting. Also my computer has been having some strange overheating issues lately when i leave it on for a long time. I've been playing around with Yahoo Pipes, but I'm not making much headway. Seems possible though.

Yahoo Pipes I actually use (because of uT's inferior filtering), and they do cache feeds, I don't think they retain items that disappear though. If you have a cap at the ISP they sometimes say "go over x GB and you'll be throttled to 20%", you could limit around that.

As for the computer overheating, any more details? Take a can of compressed air to it for starters, every nook. Or if you have a shopvac point the outlet at the computer. Or if you have a portable air compressor, first make sure it doesn't have water in it, then use an air blast nozzle. If your CPU supports throttling/underclocking, switch Windows to the battery/portable profile in power management and tweak the settings as desired, this way if it's not in heavy use it'll underclock and consume less power and generate less heat.

Thanks. The fact that Yahoo Pipes caches sounds like good news. Looks like I got a fun project. I'm pretty sure my computer just needs a good cleaning, from dust. I just haven't got around to opening it lately. If I get this working I'll let people know how I did it.

I'm pessimistic given my own experience about it | would be useful though.

The caching they do is more to prevent people from hammering the shit out of some poor guys site and share recently retrieved feeds among other users.
