Turn Your RSS Feeds into Torrents

Almost anyone uses Rich Site Summary feeds today, as they keep the user updated by converting the required data into a standard format – the RSS document. Now RSS2Torrent can take these documents and turn them into full-pledged torrent feeds.

You know that reading RSS feeds is like reading e-mail – they keep users updated with the latest events based on a list of their favorite portals or blogs. BitTorrent Inc. admits that the relationship between RSS and P2P had always been a professional one, until RSS2Torrent managed to take it one step further.

A new service offered by the company is very easy to use, even for subscribers who are not avid web-surfers. For example, you can get IMDB’s RSS feed link by right-clicking the RSS logo and choosing “Copy Link Location” in the menu. Then you just go to RSS2Torrent and paste the link in question into the box. Click the “Create” button and the conversion will take just a few seconds. You will get a new link, which can be copied and opened with any BitTorrent application.

For instance, uTorrent users should go to the File menu and choose “Add RSS feed”. There they should paste the provided link, which has a look like “http://rss2torrent” and that’s it. The new content will be displayed if you click the “Feed” button on the left side of the app.

Vuze users should look for “Content Discovery” and “Subscriptions” and click the plus to add the desired feed. Then they should choose “Create New Subscription” and click the RSS tab to paste the content and save it. Users are free to choose any RSS feed they want, of course, while being sure that it is regularly updated and ready to be downloaded when the case.
