Torrent protocol is a brilliant system for information sharing, and with fragmentation of services like Netflix we need to start considering other solutions again, until the industry can give us what we need.

#272A few other folks have mentioned this, but a (monthly?) dump of the database, offered as a torrent link on the site would be fantastic. Not only would it enable offline searching, but when the inevitable take down shows up, folks can still continue to search the database.
7 more votes to get it done.

But not when they're trapped in a .rar or a .iso, at least not in my version of Transmission.
I wrote a BitTorrent client that specifically only downloads the parts you need to perform some operation: https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent

#275This is blazing fast, congrats! However, I am concerned by the use of IN domain. Indian govtt frequently asks ISPs to block sites to avoid piracy. How do you plan to avoid getting blocked?

#276Hi, 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.

#277Why is "You must identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed." listed three times in your DMCA policy? Does the information actually need to be submitted in triplicate?
The takedown requests are a waste of the complainant's time, anyway. The site does not host any files, and a listing of facts, such as the contents of a telephone book, is not eligible for copyright protections.
Such a request is equivalent to a demand to remove someone's telephone number from the telephone book, because if you call it, the voice mail system plays Lionel Ritchie's recording of "Hello". It's ridiculous on its face.
If there is nothing to take down, you can make the DMCA request process as burdensome as you like, because your response will always be a brush-off.
