RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts in a standardized format.[2] An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed"[3], or "channel") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays.[3]

The benefit of RSS is the aggregation of content from multiple Web sources in one place. RSS content can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader" or an "aggregator", which can be web-based or desktop-based. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.

The initials "RSS" are used to refer to the following formats:

* Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
* RDF Site Summary (RSS 1.0 and RSS 0.90)
* Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91).

RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats. Although RSS formats have evolved since March 1999,[4] the RSS icon ("") first gained widespread use in 2005–2006.[citation needed]

Nope. It won't help.
The RSS implementation in bittorrent clients is a search feature, not a transfer feature.
It allows you to set up your client to automatically download files based on keyword hits in RSS feeds you subscribe to.
But it won't change a thing as far as getting around blocking by your isp. Depending upon your client, there is usually a setting to use protocol encryption. This will help some, but your speeds will suffer.

One thing to add to Zombieman123's very detailed explanation:

If you have Gmail, it has a very excellent RSS reader built in. I would highly recommend this one, it keeps track of any sites you add to it, and has some nice customization features.

To get to it: In your gmail page, when you are logged in, look at the top of your screen. You will see links entitled, "Gmail" "Calendar" "Documents" "Photos" and then "Reader." Click on "Reader" and then follow the directions inside to add your own sites. I, for instance have added Gizmodo (an excellent technology blog) and the LA Times, as they are things that always have new information coming in.

Good luck

AND I just realized you don't care about RSS readers, you only wanted to know if "RSS" could help you get your torrents through your service provider??

Well, the information's there, and I'd recommend it if you browse several blogs every day.
