What's new with Subscriptions?

With the launch of Subscriptions, you can now request that specific content be sent to you automatically. Just look for orange subscription buttons in your Library.

Advanced Users: You can also create a Subscription using search, or an RSS feed on a 3rd-party site. Click the + button next to Subscriptions in your Sidebar, and select the "Create New Subscription" button at the bottom.

How do I subscribe from My Library?

An orange subscribe button will appear next to specific items in your Library whenever there are existing subscriptions relating to that content. Some of these may have been created by BiglyBT, while others may have been created by other BiglyBT users and “shared.”

After clicking the subscribe button, select from the list of available subscriptions on the left-side of the dialog box, and select one by clicking Subscribe. You’ll then see it in your Sidebar.

How do I create a new subscription using search?

Type in a search using the BiglyBT Search Box, and click the orange subscribe button in the upper right corner of the Search Results Page.

After clicking Subscribe, follow the 3-step process outlined at the top of the Search Results Page to complete your subscription: Refine, Name, and Schedule.

Note that the subscription can only be set up to work with one of the search templates, the 'Refine' step requires you to select the one to use - here the 'Internet Archive' is being selected by clicking on it:

This will add your saved search under Subscriptions in your Sidebar, and a number will appear next to the particular Subscription whenever new items are available.

Saving subscription downloads in a separate folder

With the advent of Tags within BiglyBT it is possible to configure a subscription so that downloads from it are placed into a specific folder.

First assign a tag to the subscription by right-clicking on it in the side bar and selecting the Tag menu.

Next, go to the tag in the sidebar, right click on it and set its 'initial save location' from the Files menu.
