It doesn't work, it appears TTD's RSS software is broken. http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...l.php?type=rss works perfectly well, but does not include Torrent posts - but http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...s2&forumids=12 (which should produce the audio torrent posts) just generates a blank feed with no articles. My RSS client validated the feed, I can log in and it's working, it just doesn't include any articles.

Fetching the forum-specific feeds with the same browser I'm logged in with is still producing blank feeds.

Kind of a shame, no other tracker I'm a member of (Lossless Legs, Dimeadozen, Yeeshkul, Tapecity, MindWarpPavilion, Zomb, Pink Robert, Jam To This, Long Live Rock) has any trouble producing an RSS feed of new torrents - just TTD. Would be nice if it worked, since other than Dime, TTD is my favorite tracker in terms of the content, but between the digest-style-only email announcements and the lack of an RSS feed, this one requires far and away the most time and effort to find out about new torrents.

I hope you don't think I sound ungrateful - not that I don't appreciate you guys' work, just, it would be nice if TTD could do what every single other tracker can.
