I never download torrent files, just look for the magnet link. Same feature, why bother downloading?
It's not the same.you'll be missing some of the trackers.

That being said DHT and PEX (BEP 5 and BEP 11) is good enough that you don't need them.

> This way you get rid of the knowledge of who-downloaded-what, and also save some bandwidth. I don't get this. It's a magnet link with magnet protocol. It will be handled by your torrent client, no additional request to the server whatsoever if you click on them. It's the same as plain text copying, but more convenient.
That's still trackable via JS for instance. Selecting & copying plain text are (AFAIK) not trackable, hence the suggestion from parent.

#114Firefox says 'your connection is insecure' and I need to add a security exception. Don't know why.

Yes, clicking a button or link will send a request to the server with some information in the header, such as which browser clicked from which IP. Selecting the text will trigger no such request, the developer will still know who opened the site and searched for what, but he cannot know the exact torrent that was copied.
clicking a magnet link wont fire a request to the server. yes you can track who clicked a magnet link with javascript but you can track who selected the text with javascript also.

You should consider open sourcing the static pages/text at least, so people can improve paragraphing, punctuation, and grammar/spell correct: "donot" should be "do not" (separate words) "atleast" should be "at least" (separate words) I realize English is probably not your first language, so no big deal, but it would be nice to fix.
Here's a better version. I'd e-mail it, but I don't use PGP... [Feel free to change do not to don't. Torrents and Javascript may be capitalised or not.] This is a clean, ad-free, privacy focused torrent search engine. Like Google/Yahoo but just for torrents (at least for now). This project is still under heavy development. Feedback is welcome, please report any problems or bugs. We do not track users in any form and…

#117Love the site especially the speed. But disappointed that the search indexes the name of the container of the torrent only and not the name of the files within the torrent.
To date the only site I know that does this is "filelisting dot com" but their website is very slow.
Do you have any plans to extend your product to add this feature. Maybe as a premium option?
Super useful to find single documents contained within archived bundles of files.

#120Suggestion: get rid of the torrent files and just serve magnet urls in plain text without a clickable button. This way you get rid of the knowledge of who-downloaded-what, and also save some bandwidth.
I prefer using torrent files, because I can just wget/curl them down into a directory being watched by my server which downloads torrents.
