- Creating a subscription from your downloads
You can create a subscription based on your downloads by doing the following:
- Create a category (right click on download and select 'assign category'), say 'MyStuff', and assign downloads to it
- Install the RSS Feed Generator plugin and configure it to serve an RSS feed for your categories, say
http://localhost:6889/feed.xml?cat=MyStuff - Install the DDB Feed plugin and add the local RSS feed (http://localhost:6889/feed.xml?cat=MyStuff) as a published resource with a local name, say 'MyStuffFeed'
- Find the publish descriptor in the seeding area of Azureus (called MyStuffFeed.feed.publish.xml) and right click on it and select 'Create DDB Feed Subscription'
- A new subscription will be created in the left-nav area representing this feed. Click on it and edit it to give it a more sensible name. Then right click on it and 'export' it to give you a .vuze file you can share with other users interested in the feed.
Simple! Other users wanting to download using the subscription will also need to install the DDB Feed plugin (but not the RSS Feed Generator).
Of course, if the subscription is public then any downloads associated with it will be linked to the subscription so that other people can automatically discover your subscription.
