Does torrentwatch works for you with http://www.mininova.org/ or 
http://www.demonoid.com/ or other trackers where in torrent link is not a 
*.torrent file? I don't understand where's the problem...

Developer reply:
Torrentwatch doesn't currently support feeds that link to detail pages, it 
is possible in the future

torrent 
client

Its not really that it doesn't play well with the torrent client.  

Specifically what happens is
1) torrent watch finds a match
2) torrent watch downloads the file pointed to by the link(making assumption 
its a 
.torrent)
3) torrent watch decodes the torrent file

at this point one of two things happens
a) the file is a valid .torrent client and torrentwatch passes it on to your 
torrent 
client
b) torrent watch fails to decode the .torrent file(because its an html page 
with a 
torrent link hidden deep inside it) and gives up

You can load any RSS/Atom feed from around the net into torrentwatch, it could 
be the 
news feed from slashdot, or new comics from dilbert.  Torrentwatch will load 
the feed 
and present the list of items in the feed.  But unless the feed items point to 
a 
.torrent file torrent watch will be unable to do anything with the feed, which 
is 
what this ticket is about.

Wanted to add that this support is being worked into the new OO branch of 
torrentwatch(named nmtdvr).   In the new branch a new class can be created to 
extend 
and rss feed and overload the getTitle/getLink/etc. functions to return the 
best link 
instead of just whatever is in the enclosure/link field
