How to start autotrading with Preee
-----------------------------------

The easiest way to start is when a site offers a preee.ruleset
which contains all the neccessary data to autotrade the site.
You can't nothing wrong with it since the siteop made and
offers this ruleset for use :)

You need:

- A quick setup Preee, version from 15. Jan 2008 or later
- A site which offers preee.ruleset
- another site

What to do:

Add the site with preee.ruleset. Login to it and click

Site Manager -> Site Rules -> Template -> Import from site

Preee will now retrieve the ruleset from site and show you a window
where you can add / rename the sections. We just want to do some
testing here, so we will just use one section here. You can re-import
the ruleset at any time. We choose MP3 section. Make sure that just
MP3 section is checked, and make sure Trade UL, Trade DL, UL on Race
are activated, click ok. You got MP3 section added.

Now it's time to add another site. To ease it up, choose a site in the
same timezone. If it also got a preee.ruleset, even better! just do the
same like above. IMPORTANT: Make sure the same sections got EXACTLY the
same name in your Preee! If you add for example on one site DIVX and on
the other site XVID, Preee won't trade between them! In the section import
window, you can rename the section name by double clicking on it.

If you got another site without preee.ruleset, just add it as download
source, remember, you just want to check out how Preee works. After you
added the site, go to Site Manager -> Site Rules and add section MP3,
fill in the path (only complete pathes, no symlinks like mp3_today!),
and it Misc just activate "Use for download".

We need to make a little excourse. You will notice a little problem adding
complete pathes to the MP3 daydir because it changes every day. For this
reason, Preee supports some variables:

$year      = current year (4 digit; e.g. 2008)
$shortyear = current year (2 digit; e.g. 08)
$month     = current month (2 digit; e.g. 01)
$day       = current day (2 digits; e.g. 25)
$week      = current week (euro; starting monday)
$amiweek   = current week (us; starting sunday)

So, here are 2 typical examples for MP3:

/mp3/$year-$month-$day
/mp3/$month$day

Or for ebooks:

/ebook/week$week

That's it! Just activate the release ticker (10 seconds is just great),
and Preee should now scan the sites every 10 seconds for new releases.
If Preee finds a new release, it will be listed in the main release window.
holding the mouse pointer over the release name will show you all the
infos Preee could detect from this release.
