RSS Specifics

If you want to download the torrents directly please use: https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml

To access a forum feed you can use the url: https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rss.xml

Basic or cookie authentication can be used or you may supply a username and password like this: http://themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?user=USERNAME&pass=PASSWORD

Without any restrictions in the url, you will need use your client downloader settings to filter. You can also restrict your feed to a particular tag, artist, dates etc of torrents by adding to the above url.

Here are some examples:

to get a feed of torrents tagged as jungle for your torrent client use this url:

https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:jungle

more examples:

https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:readers mixes
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:annie on one
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=title:nocturnal
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=leechers:1

multiple restriction examples:

https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:essential mix, date:2010, codec:mp3
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=bookmarked:yes, snatched:no, seeders:1
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:Breezeblock/MAH OR breakcore

if you have trouble with spaces (I didn't have any trouble with utorrent), replace spaces with %20 or remove them if possible

https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:Breezeblock/MAH%20OR%20jungle
