Direct torrent download feed

Authentication

To access the feeds, you need to authenticate with your TMB user credentials. There are two ways to do this

• if your client supports it, it will prompt you for your credentials
• directly provide your credentials in the URL like this:

https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rss.xml

Filtering

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

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 filter 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 a + (plus sign)

Tags will match case insensitive text, eg: tag:house will match House, Progressive house, Deep House and Tech House .. etc
