You need to add entries for shows you want it to watch, show it the folder the shows are stored in and it will find the missing ones. It’s best to have it setup to set new episodes to “skipped” by default and change them manually to “wanted”.
It’s designed for Usenet, it doesn’t really work that well with torrents. You should check out Usenet, it’s miles ahead of any other methods (fileshare etc). It’s a little harder to setup and costs money ($100 per year, but you can get a 14 day trial to try it out), but the choice and quality are way ahead. You’ll never run a torrent again. I detest uploading.
Check out my other blog entry to get setup with a free trial (you’ll need to pay $10 for nzbmatrix, but it’s worth it, don’t bother with Newzbin, Nzbmatrix is better):
