RSS and auto-download rules

A feed reader with unread counts, and rules in qBittorrent's syntax: must and must-not words, regex, 1x2-5 episode filters and a smart filter that never takes an episode twice.

The RSS tab (Ctrl+R, or Ctrl+3): feeds on the left with their unread counts, the chosen feed’s articles on the right, the article’s text below.

• Feeds are added by URL (N), named after themselves, refreshed every half hour by default (each may have its own interval), and only re-read when they changed: ETag and Last-Modified are sent back.
• Enter on an article with a torrent (an enclosure, a magnet, a torrent:magnetURI) opens the Add dialog; Download adds it at once with the defaults.

Rules add new articles’ torrents by themselves once the switch is on:

• what the title must contain and must not contain: words, | between alternatives, or regular expressions;
• an episode filter in qBittorrent’s syntax: 1x2 one episode, 1x2-5 a range, 1x2- from episode 2 on, several joined by ;, read off S01E02, 1x02 or “Season 1 Episode 2”;
• a smart episode filter that keeps a rule from taking the same episode twice;
• which feeds, how old is too old, and what to do with a match: start paused, a category, a save path.

The rule dialog lists what the rule matches among the articles as you type. “Create rule from title…” starts one from an article.
