TorrentLeech administrators asked me to put TorrentLeech2RSS offline while they verify I did not hide anything nasty there, and I did.

Today they finally approved it, so TorrentLeech2RSS is available once again.

TorrentLeech is one of the best torrents scenes on the web.
Unfortunately, the site admins have decided to stop providing an RSS feed.

Since I uses TorrentLeech exclusively through the RSS feed (I configured Azureus to download the series I watch automatically), I was quite upset to discover that the RSS is not coming back (based on information provided on the IRC channel by the channel admins).

I decided to write a program called TorrentLeech2RSS - that fix the problem.
it’s a Java program, you run it on your own computer, and point your rss reader to it instead of to TorrentLeech.

You need to provide your TL user-name and password in the URL, and also in the configuration file.
The reason you need to provide the user-name and password twice is because the user-name and password in the configuration file is used to update the torrents list, and the user-name and password in the URL is used to download the torrents. this way TorrentLeech2RSS can handle many users, although normally one person will use it.

How to get TorrentLeech2RSS?
Download the latest version from here:
tl2rss-1.0.0.zip

See the README file inside the zip for detailed usage instructions.

You can also get the source using a subversion client with the command:
svn co http://svn.firestats.cc/tl2rss/trunk/TorrentLeech2RSS/

You can easily build tl2rss with ant.
