uTFilterManager, Simplify RSS Filters in uTorrent

One of the best features ever to be incorporated into BitTorrent clients is the ability to add torrent RSS feeds. But to configure auto-downloading and set up desirable characteristics in RSS feeds does take a fair bit of knowhow - for novices the learning curve can be quite high. There’s filters, wildcards, episodes, and the mind-blowing "not: list" of items that the feed is told to avoid - all this can be daunting to the average torrenter. Well it was, until uTorrent Filter Manager came along. uTFilterManager is a brand-new standalone app that works in conjunction with uTorrent to set up pre-configured RSS feed filters. In its simplest form, all you need to do is type in a name (say, a title of a TV show), add a feed, and uTFilterManager does the rest.
For public torrent indexers, actual .torrent files (and even trackers themselves) may seem a little passé with the increasing popularity of magnet links. While magnet links are hardly a new concept; sites such as TPB and KickAssTorrents have recently added support for them, although most public indexers still do not. That is, until now. Magnet Catcher is a brand-new script that turns info hashes from torrent files into magnet URIs, and works on virtually any website. It’s especially handy for those who are unable to download .torrent files.
µTBackup is a clever new utility that allows uTorrent users to save all those program setting files in order to import or restore into a new uTorrent installation - such as on another PC or when upgrading the OS. No more searching for the "appdata" folder and having to copy/paste the files or backup the directory - this little app does it all for you, at the click of a button.
We’ve all been here before: attempted to login to a private tracker account, only to get that dreadful "Login Failed! This account has been disabled" message. Drats, what went wrong this time? It’s highly unlikely that tracker staff will have sent you a PM explaining the situation - after all, you can’t log in to check. No email will be coming, either. Here’s a compilation of the top ten most common reasons why you got banned from a private tracker, and how to avoid it from happening to you.
