torrentfreak.com— Are you tired of scanning several BitTorrent sites for the latest episodes of your favorite TV-show? You should definitely try using RSS feeds then. RSS and BitTorrent are a perfect match.

I completely agree. I got into Top Gear when the clips hit YouTube, and then started watching the eps weekly with my family this summer, all thanks to BitTorrent.
I live in Scotland, but due to where the house is located (Right next to a hill, with lots of trees), we can't get Sky (The house about 20 meters to the left of here can, we can't), and since it's a village, no cable. We get Freeview, but not all that many channels, most are pretty terrible. TV shows on DVD are fine, but they tend to be released in the US many months after they have been on TV, then they take another several months before they come out in the UK.. And when they do, they cost ridicloius ammounts, and it's another few months before the price drops to a reasonable level..With bittorrent, I can get shows within a few hours of them being on the US, at a much better picture quality than I'd get on TV (And possibly DVD, depending on how it's compressed), in a much more convienent format, that I can do what I want with.. And people wonder why there is so much piracy....- Ben
positron : It depends on what platform. uTorrent though WINE isn't that great, plus I tried uTorrent's RSS scanner thing, and it seemed to like to download the same file in multiple formats, and some other problems I don't remeber. I found TVTAD generally more reliable (I use TVTAD 1.13, with uTorrent on Windows, and XBMC)All I need is a non-crap ISP who wont start to complain about bandwidth after they upgrade the lines speed 6MB/s (to 8MB/s) with no increase in bandwidth, and suddnely start monitoring bandwidth usage, and a more reliable podcast client that wont randomly decide to download all items in a feed despite the fact they are extremely old ones (Juice, I looked at the download list, and it had decided to download around 1.5GB of old episodes for some reason...)- Ben
did you even considered [before posting the comment] that this article refers to different software / platform and it is more general?wtf, internet has lots of dups anyway (you can consider it even as "redundant")!get a life... :(
as i said before, internet is by no-way "first gets everything" thing, or something centralized. I also found this post BEFORE i find any similar (maybe due to the fact that i hadn't searched before) so i don't think it is a dupe. It would be a dupe, it the link was a blog, which mentioned the original blog / post, or if it was for a post already posted to digg...
