well after setting it all up, pressing the question mark shows me all matches to my filter, but when it comes to downloading, i get an error message saying

"Error loading torrent. (https://mma-torrents.com/download.php?id=xxxxxx"


EDIT

scrap that, got it working, i had to add my cookie info to the rss link (uid and pass)

https://mma-torrents.com/rssdl.php:COOKIE:uid=xxxxx;pass=xxxxx

so far i have got a few working, use these 2 if you want every torrent file checked

https://mma-torrents.com/rssdl.php
http://mma-torrents.com/rss.php

if you want to check a specific category to match your filters

for UFC SD content, add ?cat=103 onto the end of the RSS link

https://mma-torrents.com/rssdl.php?cat=103
http://mma-torrents.com/rss.php?cat=103

for UFC HD content, add ?cat=96 onto the end of the RSS link

https://mma-torrents.com/rssdl.php?cat=96
http://mma-torrents.com/rss.php?cat=96

The error you first had has to do with rutorrent and not our site

https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent/issues/1462
https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent/issues/1196

Maybe up or downgrading the version or one of the suggested solutions in these topics above would resolve your issue.


Edit:

Glad you got it working! Good work buddy!!

Can I second the notion of setting up an IRC announce channel.
Ive been using RSS to download All *bellator* and *UFC* to help the site out with my seedbox (>18TB uploads) but got caught out today with the 400GB UFC 100-150 torrent. It put my seedbox over disk quota and suspended my account (Sorted now)
I'm happy to download large torrents like that when planned manually but would prefer to filter max size like you can with autodl-irssi (cant be done with RSS) so I can be comfortable letting it do its thing. Ive now got RSS disabled while I ponder.

Maybe one of you guys could run the channel

We had an IRC channel for many years ,probably around 5-6 years, 3 guys max used it, usually max 1.

Unfortunately maintaining and running an IRC channel for 2-3 guys isn't really worth it. If more people would use it, why not, but maintaining an IRC channel for many years with no users doesnt make sense.

Understand, thanks

Thanks mate for understanding

What I should have said was thanks for taking the time to write and explain.
Anyone else that may encounter my issue my workaround has been to simple be more explicit with my RSS filters. Bellator i've left and hope is fine but my *UFC* becomes *UFC.23* *UFC.Fight* *UFC.on.ESPN* *UFC.Now* etc
This should catch majority and I can monitor how it goes. Updating to *UFC.24* or just *UFC.2* in future etc

thanks for the detailed walkthrough in this post, helped me finally get around to setting up some automation!
