F, I had the same problem. I went back and defined all my directories under Options/Files. Then went back and re-enabled the RSS Importer Plugin. That seems to work.

I got the whole thing working on my Debian linux box, BTW. Runs great! Just need some more RSS feeds ... any suggestions?]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/

What you have to do is View Network Connections in the control panel, single-click on your LAN or Wireless connection, click where it says Change Windows Firewall settings (on left hand menu), Uncheck "Don't Allow Exceptions", click on the Exceptions tab, click on Add Port, name it whatever you want, port = 6881, leave it as TCP, then click OK.

Bad bad news, http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/6433.cfm, the MPAA of all organisations have decided to go after a number of sites and the people responsible for bringing us hard to get tv shows in torrent form. Personally this cuts me off from my only way to see these shows, and also somewhat makes your method useless (because there are very few shows still being uploaded).

Oh well.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/23/how-to-broadcatching-using-rss-bittorrent-to-automatically/

Well, I guess you could just cancel the downloads of the ones you already have.

Zak also raises an interesting point. As it was posted in the last podcast comments..
"BitTorrent is not safe, anyone can see your IP and that studios like MGM and Paramount are already going after people who download tv shows like Stargate Atlantis & Star Trek Enterprise.

Skeptical?

If you are using RSS Importer, then you have to set the plug-in to Active by checking the "Activate RSS Importer" check box in Preferences for the plug-in. Then it will load on the interval you set in the options for the plug-in.
