Please report it upstream.

As I already stated, this doesn't appear to be possible at present.

The new bug tracker is on Github and works just fine (http://bugs.qbittorrent.org). I get a lot of bug reports so I'm sure it works. Anyone can register an account on Github...

Please tell me where it says that qBT bugs are tracked on Launchpad because I cannot find any mention of this.

Automated download of magnet links from RSS feeds has been supported for quite some time. I have just tested to make sure it is not broken. It is working just fine for me. It may be an issue specific to the RSS stream you're testing but it is difficult for me to tell without having the link.

I found one bug - however - When adding a new download rule, it currently applies to new rss articles only, and not to the existing ones. I'm fixing it right now but this is not specific to magnet link feeds.

The bug I found only affected v3.1.0alpha. With v3.0.4, I cannot reproduce the any of these issues.

Thanks Cristophe, I've now signed up to GitHub. I was confused because neither bugs.qbittorrent.com nor the GitHub login page links to the signup page and I didn't look any further.

Also, I can no longer find the mention of LaunchPad so let's forget that.

The specific feed I'm having problems with is http://showrss.karmorra.info/

Well, that is interesting because http://showrss.karmorra.info/ is actually the one I used for testing as well.

I'm happy to doing any testing of this, but the problem is completely solid, i.e. no magnet torrents are ever downloaded automatically. I always have to right-click.

Is there some configuration option I'm forgetting? I can send you my config file if that will help (just tell me which one it is).

Patrick, I doubt this is a configuration issue. Can you please send me your RSS link via email (chris at qBittorrent dot org) ? Maybe it is slightly different than the one I tested...

Here is what I tried (with qBittorrent v3.0.4):
1. I generated a showrss feed and copied the one indicated as: "Full feed with magnets:"
2. I added this feed to qBittorrent
3. I went to the automated RSS downloaded, created a rule with the name of a TV show and applied the rule to the Karmorra RSS feed (it matched 3 articles)
4. I closed the automated RSS downloader dialog and qBittorrent automatically added those 3 magnet links to the transfer list.

I'm running this on Mac OS X but it shouldn't matter. The code here is pretty simple: If the link starts with "magnet:" (case insensitive), it is added as a magnet, otherwise it is considered to be a URL to a torrent file.

Note that automated RSS rules do not apply to RSS articles that have already been marked as read.

Perhaps the problem is that I'm doing the selection at the showrss end, i.e. I have a single URL which selects all my desired feeds using the on-site selection mechanism, and that single feed is what I register in the RSS tab. QBT does indicate new shows when they appear, so I assumed that was the correct way to do it.

We can continue this offline. I mailed you my rssinfo details.
