How to Add an RSS Subscription to Vuze
As you browse websites for music and movie downloads, you will often see a Really Simple Syndication link. When you subscribe to an RSS link for a download website, the program that you use to add the subscription automatically notifies you each time the associated website has a new file available to download. Vuze is a free BitTorrent client that has built-in support for RSS subscriptions and, if you use it to subscribe to the RSS feed for your favorite download website, you will no longer need to check the site manually to see if new files have been added.
