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.

Why .in? Is this based in india?

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?

Definitely will setup a tor onion service ASAP.

Great, thanks. Not only is this more secure & anonymous for your users, but it also gives them a way to access your site in case your main domain is lost or revoked.

Also wrong. The telemetry in Windows 8 was just in critical components that had been instrumented long ago, such as Windows Update, crash management, etc. None of those were using the current universal telemetry system. In fact, I don't know if all of them moved to the new telemetry infrastructure shared with the rest of the OS or if they kept what they had and just added the new telemetry on top. All that said, I ag…

> The telemetry in Windows 8 was just in critical components that had been instrumented long ago, such as Windows Update, crash management, etc. None of those were using the current universal telemetry system. Are you sure? I did a lot of Windows 8 installations when I was evaluating it, and I distinctly recall the option to turn on the same tracking features that 10 had on by default. In the Windows 8 installer they…

The EULA for it is the same, but the underlying system is totally different. I am 100% sure about this :-)

But, as you noted, a lot of the telemetry instrumentation has been backported so that argument is lost for someone wanting to avoid upgrading to Windows 10 from an earlier version.

This looks great. Nice work. On a privacy related note can anyone recommend a torrent friendly VPN provider? This + vpn would make a great combination. Cheer.

AirVPN works great for me in Europe, usually around 1 MB/s downstream.

For feature voting I've seen other apps use Product Pains[0] [0] - https://productpains.com/

I thought whois guard wasn't allowed by .in? I'm using Namecheap and it isn't possible for my .in but I'd like to add it if some other registrars allow this. Anyone have to registrar to recommend besides gandhi?

Gandi is the best. Although you pay for their no bullshit , and sometimes they won't let you do (questionable) things that other registrars allow.

I'm assuming that means they somehow allow .in regstration to use their WHOIS guard? This conflicts with their published list of WHOIS guard compatible domains [0].
