Use a hosted seedbox then?
For many people this isn't really a problem, seedbox or not.
For others it's not exactly their problem but yea someone upstream may get a "letter".

Hosting a torrent site is completely LEGAL. Since we are acting just like google "a search engine".

Most if not all relatively modern clients support DHT and other peer locating methods. Just copy the info hash on the torrent results page & paste into your client. HTTP trackers help find peers who are more firewalled I believe, and also potentially speed up the start of downloads.

No, we DONOT have any plans to monetize. NO javscript was a design feature for security focused users. We also DONOT place any cookies (and donot track). We wanted users to experience a fastest experience possible without worry about adblocks, noscripts etc.
