TorrentDay Setup

Some people have had a bit of trouble setting up torrentday as a provider. Here are some steps you can take to get it up and running:

1: Fill in Username and Password.

2: Create an RSS feed here: http://www.torrentday.com/rss.php (It does not matter what you check off for "Categories to retrieve:", SB will only search for TV Shows anyway.

You need the UID and RSS Hash to be able to download. If this is your RSS Link:

     http://www.torrentday.com/torrents/rss?download;l10;u=1234567;tp=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  • Then '1234567' would be your UID. (Without quotes)
  • And 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' Would be your RSS Hash. (Without quotes)
