Olypics broadcast 'SPAM'

now that i have the sports fans up in arms i just want to clarify i am not
calling your wonderful sporting event over in beijing a piece of spam but that
it acts like it to those who aren't interested.

i get new show torrents via the rss feed which i manage manually because lets
face it, if you are a heavy user of rss no automatic solution out there is a
tenth as good as you doing it manually and many end up making you do as much
work. now that the olympics have come along all the extra content, which means
bubkis to me, and has me weeding 3 to 4 times as much content out of the feed
that i never wanted. in this way it, to me and others like me, is acting like
spam.

maybe in two years time when the winter olympics rears its head you could have
a separate feed for it, or collect a days or half days content and enter it as
separate links in a single rss entry. this would allow for the fans to still
get their links and choose which to download, while keeping sources separate so
you aren't distributing content.

it would probably take some additional work on the frontend of the webpage, but
you could have a couple of years to figure out how to do it.

now let the new event, the hundred page flame-war commence...

on your marks...

get logged in...

hands on your keyboard...

"bang"

we don't care.

we're not going to do this.

you get this all for free. i think you can spend the minimal amount of time and
effort it takes to weed out the shows you don't want. have fun.

wow, sounds like the way you use rss feeds involves almost 10 times more work
then i spend getting my torrents manually

well done...
