Hi ya'l, At the moment I' using qBittorrent version 4.5.5. The RSS feed is configured like this: https://mma-torrents.com/rssdl.php:COOKIE:uid=<foo>;pass=<bar>. Ofcourse, the real username and password are not shown in this post. When I try to download a file from RSS I get: Quote: Unexpected end of file in bencoded string. When I download torrents manually I they remain stalled with status: not working. Please help me to build the correct RSS URL and get me started downloading again. Thanks a lot. /Testuser0001

The RSS feed you've shown is structured correctly. Are you using your username/password or the values copied from the cookie?

So, did you use your username/password or the UID and passkey from the cookie?
If you're dead set on using qBittorrent but can't get the RSS to work then you may consider setting up autobrr to handle your RSS and pass the results to qBittorrent to download, I do this currently. I used to handle it all natively in rutorrent without issues though so I'd still assume a setup issue on your end

I think I know what the issue is. The RSS gives an URL that does not contain the torrent file. For example: https://mma-torrents.com/torrents-detai ... 0033&hit=1. It points to the torrent info page but not to the torrent file. Thus giving me: Error: unexpected end of file in bencoded string Do other torrent clients also have this issue? qBittorrent does not scrape the info page for a torrent file. That kinda sounds like expected behavior. Or is my RSS URL broken for doing that?

Total n00b failure from me. I updated the RSS URL in qBittorrent and that didn't work. I deleted the RSS subscription and added a new one. That did work.
Thanks guys for ya'll help.
