Hi, Love 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 w…

If 3 more users vote this feature, It will be provided for free to everyone and it will provided at the same speeds as the current website.

Kindly add my vote too, for this feature.

Don't you realize that you can't build a usable site without mountains of JS and user-tracking scripts? /sarcasm It's really refreshing to see a fast, small efficient site that gets rid of all the bullshit. Congrats!

Yes! At first I literally couldn't believe what I was seeing - ZERO third-party bullshit in uMatrix. Not just none to unblock to make the site work - none at all ! (Apparently you can make a website without downloading Bootstrap from someone's external CDN...) And then... oh my God, how fast the site is. I can actually feel I have a somewhat modern, powerful computer. Usual day-to-day browsing makes me forget that. S…

I tried doing our site like that several times but everyone just complains it's ugly... sigh

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The DHT search from the magnet lookup will announce to the world what you are downloading, no?

Yes, but the site owner does not know if the Person who views the page actually clicks the magnet link or not, so noone will be able to tell "due to your site, X people illegally downloaded file Y"

"Due to your site, people viewed illegal content. Go to jail for X years".

Is the current world we live in.

That's still trackable via JS for instance. Selecting & copying plain text are (AFAIK) not trackable, hence the suggestion from parent.

Selecting and copying are both definitely trackable.

Is "right click and copy url" trackable as well? Genuine question.

This one is hosted using caddy[1]. I wonder what's the backed stack is. The server is hosted on NFOrce, in Netherlands[2]. Interesting. I wonder if we could get some sort of canary.

The PGP-only mail policy is very interesting, I wonder if it will actually work even for DMC-related emails.

I see that you are based out of India. How do you plan on dealing with law enforcement issues? (Great site, btw).

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

True or not, quite a lot of sites have said this and now no longer exist.
