uTorrent- Using Rss to download Tv Shows + autoextracting

Did you ever wanted to have something like internet version of DVR? I will show you, how you can set up uTorrent with Scru to automatically download and extract your favorite tv shows!

So how does it work? uTorrent is tracking your favorite torrent site by rss feed for new episodes of your shows, than, its automatically downloading them. Next, Scru comes to action, its monitoring for new episodes on your hard drive, most of the time, that are rar packed so he is extracting them in specified by you place.

Get uTorrent
Get Scru

1. Choosing your torrents source and getting RSS.

Its best to have account on some of the private trackers, as most of the time they are much faster! Public trackers works too:)

They are sometimes using encrypted Rss links.To get them:
UID and PASS version(example: revolutiontt.net)
In Firefox, go to the following:
Tools>Options>Privacy>Cookies>View Cookies

Search for Your private Torrent sites cookies (in my case Revolutiontt.net), click the cookie:
Select UID and copy the string
Select PASS and copy the string

Save UID and PASS for later

PASSKEY version(example: polishtracker.org)
When you are downloading torrent file from private tracker, it comes with something called passkey.
Double-click on torrent to see tracker and your passkey.

Save PASSKEY for later.

For public and some private Torrent sites:

Just Search for RSS Sign(), most of sites support it!

Tip: Look for some info regarding rss on your chosen site if your not sure how to get RSS!

2. Setting up uTorrent

First, you need to set up new and completed downloads folder and check boxes as on screen-shot, its needed and useful.

Than, go to RSS menu, Feeds>Add>EnterURL,
For private and protected torrent sites (example: revolutiontt.net):
http://YourSiteLink/rss.php?feed=dl:COOKIE:uid=YourUID;pass=YourPASS;
or(example: polishtracker.org)
http://YourSiteLink/rssdl.php?passkey=YourPASSKEY

If You have problems with some sites, you can only find help on this site’s forum.

Now, RSS Downloader>Favorites>Add. Here is Example:

Filer: *-add it on beginning and end, ?-in places of “.” and ” “. So, Prison.Break.SxEx.HDTV.XviD-XOR =  *Prison?Break”
Not: Use it if you want exclude word from Filter
Save in: Select same folder as for new downloads. You have to do it! If you wont, new torrents will only be added to torrents list.
Feed: Select preferred feed for your episode, or just leave “(ALL)”
Episode Number: Leaving blank may results in downloading same episode many time, so its better to select them.
Check boxes, as on screen shot
Label for torrents: I am using tv\episode name, this is very useful and needed as episodes will be now downloaded to: CompletedDownloadsFolder/tv/PrisonBreak.

That’s it for uTorrent, it should be now downloading episodes matching Your filters by RSS feed you sat up for them!

3. Setting up Scru, automatic extractor

This great application, will extract every new episodes to right folder.

In Settings:
Select your default output directory(90% you wont use it anyway)
In Shell integration, I am only using (filter) as its most useful one.
Save.

In Watcher:
Browse for folder with Your tv shows (for me its:F:\p2p done\tv\), select “Include subdirectories”, Leave the rest as it is and click add.

In Profiles:
Add profile, name it “Tv” or something, leave everything else empty, unselect boxes and deselect “directory append”.
Save.

In Filters:
Add Filter, example:

Summary:

What does it do?
Get episode by RSS feed>Download it to NewDownloadsFolder, and when finished>moves it do CompletedDownloadFolder\tv\EpisodeName>Extract to specified folder.
This is my set up:
NewDownloadsFolder – F:\p2p download
CompletedDownloadFolder – F:\p2p done
(TvShows)WatchReadyFolder – F:\media center L\tv shows

Hope it works for you as well as it does for me.
