A lot of torrent search engines have the ability to provide an RSS feed of matches, allowing you to set up torrent programs to download items which are published on the feed. This is useful for watching releases of things.

The problem with doing this through a random search engine for Ubuntu is that you usually get too many torrents as it picks up different custom versions, and other software with the name in the title/description. See: http://www.mininova.org/rss/ubuntu

So I was wondering if there was an RSS feed somewhere that only loads up the official torrent files for releases?

So from the responses, there doesn't appear to be an existing RSS feed that does what I am after.

I am answering this simply so it can have an answer...

No, there is currently no RSS feed of releases.

I don't know if that helps but you could use the metalink file which can be found here: Daily- builds

as you can see in this file there is a link in ./files/file/resource/url wich points to the latest torrent.
