Decent search engine. I'll keep this in mind if torrentz2.eu goes down.
Maybe consider supporting an alternate way to access your website as a Tor onion service too?

#12Wow! its super fast and NO Javascript!!! Where are you hosting it and do you plan to monetize?
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.
On behalf of all NoScript users, I thank you :)

So my next question is - any plans on open sourcing? :)

We donot have plans on open sourcing soon, but we love open-source. Making it open-source will be considered in future for sure.

#16Thank you for working on this project. What is your indexing strategy?
Similar search engines have a warning that you should use a VPN when downloading that I think would benefit users.

#17Will you offer any type of API? I'd be interested

#18That site served blazingly fast. It's refreshing to see an ad free torrent site.
Since you aren't monetizing the site, how are you planning on keeping the site running? Donations?

We have written up a DHT crawler to locate trackers.We are not dependant on trackers. We are also testing an AI based detector which filters out FAKE torrents (it is not currently deployed, but we test it). If 2 more users here demand a VPN warning, it will be deployed.

#20I always wish torrent sites used some sort of data table widget to allow for easier sorting of the search results.
Something like this would work great (there may be better ones still): https://www.datatables.net/examples/styling/bootstrap4.html
