2. Go to btreannouncer.net/btReannounce.php


3. Click ''upload button and find your saved torrent file


4. After it has done working check the 'select all' box and click 'ReAnnounce'


5. Wait for the blue bar to come up 


6. When it comes up go the the right and click 'flat'


7. Open file in your torrent client. Now you have more trackers and therefore more seeders!!!

RSS Feeds

You might have seen the term 'RSS Feed' somewhere or the other. RSS if you still don’t know is a way to keep track of when a site has been updated with new content. Whenever a new torrent is added, the torrent sites update and thus the new torrent would appear in the RSS feed column in Bittorrent or utorrent. We can use these RSS feeds to view/download interesting torrents automatically or manually.

Follow these steps to setup µTorrent the way you want:
  1. Grab the feed url and open µTorrent
  2. Click on Add RSS feed and paste the put in the feed URL. You can choose to automatically download all the torrents that appear in the feed or just view them and then decide which ones to download and which ones to skip.
  3. auto download torrent
  4. Make sure you have the sidebar visible else you will not be able to view the feeds.
  5. There you have µTorrent setup for downloading via RSS, you can stop here or you can take it one step further by adding filters to download only specific files that specify a set criteria.
  6. Right Click on the feed and choose RSS Downloader, Click on add and then specify the filter options. You can specify all kinds of options here including download folder, labels, specify episode numbers to download, the priority to start the download with, the acceptable filetypes and much more.
  7. You can also right click on a feed entry that and choose “Add to Favorites” so that you can then filter entries similar to it and tweak the settings if you would like a bit of finetuning.
  8. You can either put in feeds of a particular category (thepiratebay.se/rss gives you feeds of every category) or by a specific search result (sites like miniova support this option).

    Using Miniova-

    Let’s say you are looking for releases by aXXo, so you search for aXXo and then click on the RSS button that appears on the top and there you have your RSS feed.
