Tutorials/RSS BitTorrent seeding
Here are some tutorials for adding a Torrent RSS to some BitTorrent software. This is a convenient way to set-up a BitTorrent software to automatically download new versions of the game and seed them.
See Infrastructure/CDN for details about the Unvanquished CDN and how BitTorrent is used by the Unvanquished launcher.
qBittorrent
qBittorrent has out of the box RSS torrent support.
So you fist need the qBittorrent software.
In qBittorrent Preferences (Tools → Preferences), click “RSS” icon and tick those two checkboxes:
- Enable fetching RSS feeds
- Enable auto downloading of RSS torrents
Then closes preferences window and in the main qBittorrent window, open the “RSS” tab, click the “New subscription” button, and fill this filed:
Then click the “RSS Downloader…” button of the “RSS” tab (or the “Edit auto downloading rules” button in qBittorrent RSS preferences)
Click the “+” button next to “Download Rules” to add a rule.
Fill the fields this way:
- New rule name:
Unvanquished
Tick this check box:
- Apply Rule to Feeds:
Unvanquished torrents
You can customize the folder where to download the Unvanquished files by ticking this checkbox:
- Save to a Different Directory
And fill this field:
- Save to: as you want
If needed, you can force the download this way: on the “RSS” tab of qBittorrent: right-click on the feed then “Update”, right-click on the torrent name then “Download torrent”.
Deluge
First, you'll need the Deluge software and the YaRSS2 plugin.
In Deluge Preferences, enable the YaRSS2 plugin.
In YaRSS2 plugin, in “Rss Feeds” tab, click the “Add Feed” button and fill those fields this way:
- RSS Feed Name:
Unvanquished - RSS Feed URL:
https://cdn.unvanquished.net/current-torrent.rss
Then in “Subscription” tab, click the “Add Subscription” button and fill those fields this way:
- Subscription name:
Unvanquished - RSS Feed: select the “Unvanquished” feed in the drop down list
- Filter include (regex):
.*
In “Options” tab you may also want to customize “Download location” and “Move completed” fields.
The “Move completed” feature is handy if you download with bittorrent the files for a web seed: once the download is completed the files will be moved to a specific folder you can chose, making sure they are complete once they are written to this folder.
If needed you can force the download this way: on the Subscription list you can right click the “Unvanquished” subscription and click “Reset last matched timestamp” then “Run this subscriptions”.
