We are planning to put up a tor onion frontend and thus tor users can browse even more anonymously.


Because the domain is new. It's mentioned in the http://toolbar.netcraft.com/help/faq/index.html#riskrating


It's obtained from the DHT network itself


Are you using a opensource tool to crawl DHT?


NO, closed source


7 more votes to get it done.


It's really not an auction site. Set up a way to handle feature requests.


Don't worry, unless they set up a vote to "banish all US Copyright protected works" the inevitable RIAA/MPAA pressure will sort out the project by itself. I'm not delusional to claim Torrents are without legitimate purpose - they are - and I'm also not delusional enough to believe hosts/developers are powerless to address piracy of sorts.


Yes please.

That would be really fantastic, and something that is missing from every torrent search engine I've used.


Fixed


Weird that I still see it (duplicate text hastily underlined with imgur's editing tools)[0].

Fixed for sure, was pending approval from other members


I liked it repeated several times. It sorta made a point. (In fact I thought it was made on purpose).


we may consider giving priority to bigger torrents.


Search result priority is largely irrelevant for rare or specific files, since there are going to be few results (at least, few clearly different torrents) and each result is going to be inspected by looking at the file list.

Indexing file names is the search quality improvement you need most. For example, I tried searching for "Pretty Polly", by the Poison Girls; moderately popular niche music. There are 0 results for "pretty polly" and 2 results for "poison girls", one of which is a complete discography collection containing that song. Imagine the results for more popular and prolific authors.


Ability to search inside torrents is being considered and will be added soon.


we only have https version


Well even PirateBay had that... and they can just block DNS requests to the website. You should probably set up a hidden service on Tor.


TOR service will be put in place soon


Will that prevent the GOI (Government of India) from blocking the domain?


Yes, here in India blocking happens on port 80 only. Kind of nice, comply with the requests from the government but don't really block anything for the good of masses.


no CDNs as it leads to tracking by CDNs.


Close your port 22 at least. Define some simple iptables rules.

Only able to login if coming from specific ip address, like a private vpn server.


are you talking about RSS, it's already there as soon as make a query to feed into flexget.


I totally hadn't made that connection, thanks!
