Using <strong>Gmail</strong> to Find Torrent Files<br />

The technique used above, to filter RSS feeds into labels, can also be used to<br />

search for torrent files from your favorite Bittorrent tracker site. These sites invariably<br />

have RSS feeds of their latest offerings, but the feeds are far too fast moving,<br />

and far too full of rubbish, to be worth reading manually. Instead, forward them to<br />

<strong>Gmail</strong> in the same manner you would forward your RSS feeds, and use <strong>Gmail</strong>’s<br />

search capability to find the ones you want. If you’re looking for a torrent for a<br />

particular show but don’t want to have to keep going back to <strong>Gmail</strong> to check, have<br />

a filter forward it to another e-mail address, as in Figure 15-4.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
