All you need in the filters are dots in between the words. They are simple REGEXs. <code>arrested.development</code> Thats all you really need. That won't pick up anything but something with "Arrested Development" in its name. You may have problems with shows like ER, or say, CSI came out with a new show called CSI: Las Vegas. Then the filter for Las Vegas, "las.vegas", would pull that show. So you'd make a filter to fail on "csi.las.vegas". I don’t really see the point.

I have that checked currently but I still see duplicates. It must be due to not having any fail filters setup so I will give them a whurl. Any thoughts on a public repository of filters for any given show? Thanks for the smart history tip. I have that checked currently but I still see duplicates.

Any thoughts on a public repository of filters for any given show?

This will automatically create the REGEX for you. Once your filter is created, be sure the check the "Use Smart History" option. This will enable the plugin to recognize if its downloaded one of your shows or not. It will remember, and never download it a second time! Also, try making some fail filters. I have filters for VCD and hr-hdtv, so that those types won't download. I also use it for other reasons when i need to restrict something from downloading. Good Luck!

This article hit the nail on the head if you ask me. I could not agree more. Until your article about rss feeds and torrents I was manually downloading each episode that I wanted to watch. Now I have it running full time and downloading the shows as they become available. Thanks! Only issue that I run into is getting a really good regex string for the show that I want to grab. I end up with multiple copies of the same thing being downloaded a lot. Why do I need to be a regex pro to get a solid search criteria that will not result in duplicates and full seasons? I know most will reply that its not rocket science and I would agree, but I do think its a little silly that each person is writing thier own regex filters for the rss feed extension of Azureus. Why isnt there an online repository for regex filters for shows? Is that something that anyone is interested in working on? I will throw the serverside up for it if some would contribute.
