Mininova Torrent Searches in RSS, with a twist
![[mininova logo]](http://torrents.andr3.net/logo.png "Mininova.org"){kind=logo}
If you visit Mininova.org frequently, you've probably noticed they started providing feeds for search results earlier this month. The "problem" – not really a problem, I totally get it – is that their feed is pointing to the torrent's page and not the torrent itself. This presents itself as a barrier for programs that support RSS (such as the extraordinary µTorrent ), since they expect the link of each item in the feed to be the url of a .torrent file.
How could I make it work?
Given the awesome Mininova's URL structure, it was just a matter of replacing 3 letters. So, therefore, I give you Mininova Searches in RSS, with a twist::
http://torrents.andr3.net
read the disclaimer, this is not to incite piracy or any other legal activity, is just to provide a easier access to legal, uncopyrighted torrents in mininova. Specially if they come out periodically.
Tips
I recommend you to use Firefox Live Bookmarks as a backup, pointing to the original feed, since you won't have information about the number of seeders and leechers on each torrent. For that, make a jump to mininova before starting to download.
Feedback
You know the drill, anything wrong, shout.

That will get the last fifty shows from EZTV, and the links will go the actual torrent. It's all in the FAQ.

Have you guys had any problems with the official feed? I just tried that url Justin posted and I got the torrent page, not the .torrent file. Weird... they may be checking the user-agent and acting accordingly.
