Xtorrent Beta 3: RSS "Torrentcast" Support


We've mentioned the twoprevious betas of Dave Watanabe's excellent bittorrent client Xtorrent. Now beta 3 is out and adds a long promised feature: RSS support. With beta 3, you can subscribe to a RSS feed from a torrent tracker site, and, according to Dave, "you are presented with a continuously updated list of torrents from that feed." Starting the downloading just requires a click of the download button. Continuing the recent trend, Xtorrent is available now with special "pre-release pricing," for $15.89 (versus $18.99 when released). Xtorrent definitely seems to be the most stylish of the Mac bittorent clients; with the excellent built-in torrent searching features and RSS feed support, it looks to be a certain winner. Perhaps the biggest thing Xtorrent still needs is support for some sort of automated downloading, so that the user wouldn't even have to hit the download button.
