#172Hi, 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…

#173It will be offline and versioned. If the index is too large, than some splitting will be required but I think this is totally doable.

#175Earlier quoted context omitted.
with all free services it starts this way ( look at imgur and so on. ) and eventually ends in ads ridden monster. but we usually end up in a couple of years great service, before they figure out that they could be earning money with serving ads or selling data.
I never see any banners on Imgur. I block banners. What Extratorrents and The Pirate Bay do tho seems to be something akin to clickjacking. I click on a link to a torrent search result (or a download link), a tab opens, and it immediately closes. Rest assured this generates them money.

> 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.
To keep the technical details short: the events are logged with JS and sent over either ajax or a websocket in the background as you navigate the site.
