1. Download and install Ted (torrent episode downloader).
2. Before you start adding shows to track, you need to configure Ted, which it will prompt you to do when you first run it. Configure to your liking, but be sure to keep "Try to open it in your default bittorrent client" checked.


3. Once Ted is running, it's time to add your favorite shows, which you can do by clicking the "Add Show" button. Setting up popular shows in Ted is ber-simple. Just choose one of the predefined shows from the dropdown and Ted will automatically populate the appropriate RSS feed.


4. If you're current with the show, you don't want to download every episode that pops up - you just want Ted to download the latest and greatest. You can easily do this by clicking the "Get Latest" button, which automatically loads the show's current season and episode. If you want everything you see in that feed, click the "Download all from feed" checkbox.


5. Finally, click save and you're good to go. Whenever Ted detects a new episode, it will automatically fire up your default BitTorrent client and download away.

Easy, right? If you're using Azureus or Torrent, you'll want to make sure that you have a default download directory set so that you don't have to confirm the directory before the download begins (after all, the whole point is automation, right?). To do this in Azureus, go to Tools -> Options -> Files, then check the box labeled "Save to default directory."

Creating custom TV torrent feeds for Ted

First, go to TorrentSpy and select Preferences. Set Sort Results to Newest/Date. Then go to Advanced Search and select Handheld as a category and iPod as the section. Now enter "CSI" as your search term and you're ready to get your feed. In your search results, you should see a link that says "RSS Feed for These Results." Copy and paste that link into the RSS feed section of Ted's new show dialog.
