What is animeRSS?

animeRSS is a tool that makes it easier for people to track ongoing anime shows. Create a free account, pick your preferred shows and generate a feed link that you can then subscribe to. And because some torrent clients support subscriptions, you can easily automate your setup by just plugging your personal feed.

Are there any recommended clients?

If you're on Mac, then Catch coupled together with Transmission is a widely used solution. Other proven solutions include cloud-based clients such as Put.io, useful if you want to avoid downloading torrents with your own connection, or open-source, cross-platform clients such as qBittorrent, which bundles the RSS functionality as well as useful features such as remote management. You can also use a regular feed reader. Please note that very often Firefox has issues reading feeds that contain magnets, and shows an empty feed.

What is a magnet link?

You can read more about magnet links in Wikipedia. In short, it's a way for you to download torrents without the need to download a torrent file first. This is the preferred way to of using torrents, as the old torrent files are now disappearing.
