Wow that was fast. Thanks! Gonna try it out right now.

Edit:
Well I was able to add 2 feeds but now the third didn't work. Maybe it is too long? I'd really like to get it to work. :/
Here is the link without my passkey and homepage:

Okay fixed the first one. It was the single quote ( ' ) in the title. Pull down the latest svn and try again.

Make sure you can open & downoad the torrent with UT outside of MP. If it works outside of MP then there maybe a bug in the plugin.

Can't find the temp.torrent files anywhere. Maybe you mean download the torrent file from rss with Firefox? That works of cause.

What about the other error then?

I wanted you to test the feed from firefox or IE. Sounds like you did that and it worked fine.

When you use the plugin it downloads the torrent file from the server are stores it in the \torrents folder. The file is named tempN.torrent where N is 1,2,3..etc. So when you try to download a file you should see something like temp1.torrent in the torrents folder. Once the file is on disk the plugin tells the OS to run it like this:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("temp1.torrent");

Based on the file name the OS sends it to uTorrent or Azureus or whatever software you have associated with .torrent. From your desciption it sounds like UT does not like the .torrent file.

Suggest you try it again and take a look at the \torrents folder when you get an error and see if the file is there and if you can open it manually.

If you can send me a working rss feed I can try it as well.

What do you mean by it does not work? Are you unable to pull down the zip file?

many compliments for this awesome plugin!!!

i have just installed it and it works fine for me except for one thing, when i click on a link from mytorrents rss in mediaportal,an utorrent window pops up telling "invalid torrent file". I renamed the temp .torrent in the \Torrents folder to .htm and i noticed that it showed the whole torrentspy html torrent page, because in the rss i used (http://www.torrentspy.com/rss.asp?mode=search&query=my+keyword ) there were only links to specific torrents pages, not to torrent files themselves.

i think that this could be an issue, because the majority of torrent websites are in english, hence a rss from a search query (such as keyword+ita for italian language torrents) would be the only really useful option for a mytorrents non-english user, and a specific search query rss feed would be useful to everyone else too probably..I wonder if it could be possible for mytorrents to parse the html page linked from the rss of some famous torrent sites (like torrentspy), searching for a download link. do you think it may be a good idea?...

ps: this is an example of a torrentspy link in rss

http://www.torrentspy.com/torrent/1125759/DJDB_The_Beat_2007_A_Creative_Commons_Mix

this is the real torrent link:

http://cache.torrentspy.com/download.asp?id=1125759

if mytorrents could just parse and replace the torrentspy rss feed then it wouldn't even need to parse the html page i think..
