Hi All,
Well, for some reason, TL2RSS stopped working.
I always “love” discovering it…
here I am – coming home, preparing to play some StarCraft 2, only to find out tl2rss is not working!
Grr.
Turns out that some recent changes in TorrentLeech exposed a bug (which boils down to Java HTTP support, which sucks ballz).
It took me two evenings, but I think I have it fixed.
As always, this is a good time to remind you that I am still waiting for your donations! 
Changelog for Vesion 3.0.3 (05/10/2011)
- Fixed a bug exposed by recent TL changes, which caused torrents to contain invalid data
- General code cleanup
Download 3.0.3
Hi All,
Happy new year everyone!
This is a good time to remind you that I am still waiting for your donations!
This new version now stores your username and password, and if TorrentLeech signs you out due to timeout or whatever.
Changelog for Vesion 3.0.2 (01/01/2011)
- Added support for automatic login based on previously used username and password, this should prevent tl timeout from signing out the tl2rss daemon
- Added support for “Episodes HD” category
Download 3.0.2
Hi All,
This release fixes the 404 download error that was caused by TorrentLeech changing their download links format.
Kudos to devver for letting me know (but not for neglecting to send a patch )
Please let me know of further problems you encounter.
I am aware of the fact that TL2RSS gets logged out of torrent leech quite often and I am investigating it.
on the up side – at least now this situation is detected properly and tl2rss does not think it’s still logged in.
I suspect this is caused by very stricter inactivity timeout on TorrentLeech, but I am still investigating.
If you are happily using TL2RSS, please consider donating to express this.
$5 or $10 from a user can go a long way in motivating me to continue supporting this tool.
Think of it like buying me a beer.
Changelog for Vesion 3.0.1beta (20/11/2010)
- Fixed the download link to match the changed download link in the tl site.
IMPORTANT NOTE : Since the category ids in TorrentLeech have changed, you will need to re-configure TL2RSS to fetch the correct categories in the configuration screen.

Hi All,
This is a major release, with support for the new and improved TorrentLeech site.
There have been some massive code changes to support the site, so this is considered a beta. please report any issues you encounter.
The reason I updated it so quickly was because many users have expressed their need for this tool. it took quite a few hours of work, and requires some uncommon skills.

Due to the acquisition of Recaptch by Google, there ware some minor changes to how Recaptcha work that broke TL2RSS.
I fixed it, and used the opportunity to revise TL2RSS and add a few features.
You can now select which categories to fetch via a configuration page, in addition – the RSS feed URL have changed from localhost:8080/ to localhost:8080/rss.
if your configuration is set to fetch more than one category, they will all appear in the rss feed, but you can filter per category (or even per several categories) by appending ?cat=ID to the rss url.
for example:
localhost:8080/rss?cat=7
or even
localhost:8080/rss?cat=7,35
to get more than one category.
it’s important to understand that this is a filter. all the categories you want to fetch should be selected in the configuration page.
Changelog:
- Fixed Recaptch “invalid referred’ error.
- Added a configuration screen to control which categories are indexed
- Changed rss feel url from http://localhost:8080 to http://localhost:8080/rss
- Added supper for category based filter : http://localhost:8080/rss?cat=7,8 will show only categories 7 and 8 (if they are checked in the config screen)

This evening I noticed that tl2rss was again not working properly. I investigated and found that it broke due to yet another minor changes on the TorrentLeech (or Recaptcha). I fixed the problems and this version works.

- Fixed a NullPointerException when response does not contain a Content-Type header
