Without been able to see the formatting of your RSS feed i cant tell you what you're doing wrong.
This feature DOES actually work in 3.3.1+ i cant speak about earlier versions as i never used them.
If you mouse over the Episode Filter input bar it will explain how to create filters or properly use them.
Here is an example (functional) Rule definition set. Its a very BAD rule to create but it demonstrates how you would use the connector sumbols and episode filtering..
It must contain "ettv" AND "18"
It must NOT Contain "LOL" OR "720p"
It must be in season 4 "4x" and be an episode between 1 and 26 "1-26;"
This filter returns a singular result for me(s04e18), were i to remove the "18" under the "Must Contain" segment it would return the entire season(or however much of the season is in the rss feed i chose).
A better filter would be to instead of exclude LOL include LOL to only get releases by them.
I dont actually use this filter because netflix is love, netflix is life, no need to pirate tv but i cant really demonstrate an episodic download filter with linux isos...
Hope this explanation helps.
Please change your post on the github tracker from "still a problem" to "problem resolved" thank you.
/e: Thats not feb 2016 thats feb 2015
/e2: If what you're attemtpting to download is in a linear episode fashion eg episode 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8....97...312-313-314
I dont think episode filter will work as it looks for SXXEXX format (S01E01) format.
If its listing episodes like this 401 402 403 to mean season 4 episode 1, 2 and 3.
You could try doing a "Must Contain" using Wildcards as a seasonal filter in the later scenario (401 402 403 404 been the frist 4 episdoes of season 4)
The filter would simply look like this 4?? in the "Must Contain" section.
The first scenario is likely a common problem with anime which has no "real" seasons, in which case i'd suggest using filters or getting a good rss feed so its all from a single uploader then doing a bunch of must not contain "1??" type filters to remove episodes you dont want or already have.
eg a must contain 1?? should remove all episodes lower or higher than the 100-199 block
a must not contain 1?? should remove all episodes in the 100-199 block.
Just requires more creative thinking/isnt as automagic due to the poor naming convention used by the uploader.
/e3: If however your problem is that the RSS feed does not contain ALL the episodes listed by the source (it only has 400 to 480 qq) then thats a problem with either the RSS feed itself not serving you all its contents or qbts settings found here..

If the RSS feed you're using has multiple pages and isnt a linear page going down i believe qbt actually has some difficulty parsing past the first page (known bug??!!)
