Using Watch Lists to find BitTorrents

edit David Janes 2004-06-15 04:34 UTC  ·

Here's a quick guide to using Watch Lists to find BitTorrents you are interested in. Watch Lists are a feature that makes Jäger check newly arrived entries for certain keywords. If the keywords are found, the entries are given a color marker to alert you. For example, let's say you're interested in "Jon Stewart, Wilco shows, Larry David". Just:

  • Select the BitTorrent blog in Jäger
  • Select "Actions > Watch List > Watch List Wizard"
  • Enter "Jon Stewart" Wilco "Larry David" (with the quotes)
  • Select "Watch for any words in this phrase". The quotes will do exactly what you think they should, but our language could be a little clearer here
  • Press Next and so on

And that's that. When any of these names show up in a new BitTorrent, you'll see the marker. There's one little problem here: the attachment paperclip will be covered by the Watch List asterisk, but you know it's there.

If you're only interest in seeing items from your Watch List, select the blog and then "Actions > Mark as > List Only Watched Entries" and items that didn't match any of your keywords won't be displayed.
