RSS Feed detects new torrent but does not add it

I am using the same RSS URL on my Mac as I have on my PC. It's generated from http://showrss.karmorra.info/

I've found that it does correctly detect a new torrent (the badge 1 shows in the RSS list) but it doesn't actually download it.

I have to select it and select download and then it goes. Is there some additional step or some special Mac setting I'm missing to get this to happen automatically? Do I need to generate a smart feed as well somehow?

I've searched the forums without much luck so looking for insight here. Thanks!

Actually it does seem you need a smart feed. I added that and it worked!

It looks like the RSS tutorial doesn't apply to the Mac client. It mentions editing the feed and selecting auto-download but that's not an option. The only way to do it, at this point, is to create a smart feed based on your RSS feed and go from there...

Yeah fair enough. I thought I had it with the smart feeds but it's still not quite working correctly.

The RSS feed from showRSS always seems to work (even though the torrents in the feed display a bit wonky as I mentioned in the other thread).

However, the downloader doesn't seem to work reliably. If I refresh the feed completely it will download everything sometimes, but if just leave it it usually does nothing.

It could be that I have it set incorrectly, but I'm not sure what else I can do with it.

Right now it's set to watch the showRSS feed, to start automatically, and to save in (that's the .torrent file I assume) the directory that uTorrent watches. Under advanced the only settings set are "contains" which is *.* (so everything "new" in the feed I guess) and the quality is "all".

So I'll just keep watching it and see what happens.

If anyone has managed to get this working, though, let me know what you did. It would be nice to put up some simple steps on the forum. If I get it going I will post the steps I took.

Here's a bug: if you are editing smart feeds and you press "-" under the "Find Any Torrent That" section... right next to the next box you get the following error (and the display goes bad):

And another possible bug:

When "Refreshing" the smart feed you either get a lot of this errors:

04-26-11 11:34:36 PM [0x0-0x468468].com.bittorrent.uTorrent[7608] Tue Apr 26 23:34:36imac uTorrent[7608] <Error>: unknown error code: invalid drawable

Or just one of this set (this is happening more reliably):

04-26-11 11:39:50 PM uTorrent[7690] Could not find image named 'SplitViewGrabber'.

04-26-11 11:39:50 PM uTorrent[7690] Could not find image named 'HideStats'.

04-26-11 11:39:50 PM uTorrent[7690] Could not find image named 'ShowStats.tiff'.
