Guess they aren't going with the plausible deniability legal route.
there should be a "inform the fbi about your torrent site" template. no wait, i guess they dont need it now.

#12looks great, but the trailer covers the SD links.

#13The fact they use a hushmail address for contacting them made me actually laugh out loud.

#14It'd be nice if it included info about best release type available, right where is the [HD] icon.

Why? Honest question, I have no idea. I haven't heard of hushmail in over 10 years, but I just encountered a guy I'll be working with that uses one, I honestly thought they shut down.
Re: Torrent meta-search engine
#16Cool idea. I'd like to see an IMDB link somewhere on the page and perhaps partnerships with private trackers?
kickasstorrents.com does the IMDB link which is cool but there's also a greasemonkey script that does it the other way and adds the torrent download links on IMDB (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/38484) which is even cooler
Re: Torrent meta-search engine
#17If they're going to link directly to torrents anyway (and thus discard any shred of legal deniability), could they link more directly to the torrents? If there was a button on/around the movie poster itself that linked directly to whatever they/users considered the "best" version of the torrent, that'd be helpful. Half of my problem with torrent aggregators like ISOHunt is deciding which version is actually going to be closest to my preferences (720p English MP4 with soft-subs/captions.)

I think the point is users are going to discriminate themselves and choose as from their own preferences. Some people (like myself) hate seeing humongous torrents if movies that don't fit the usual scene requirements. Others only use certain public trackers and not others, etc.
Re: Torrent meta-search engine
#19From a legal aspect, how is this going to last at all? IANAL but I was under the impression most meta-search engines operated in at least a semi-grey area because they don't spoon feed illegal content to you. Most just index the big trackers and (conveniently) don't discriminate between illegal and legal content. I feel like when you are dropping torrents into buckets more specific than "video" and "audio" (e.g. link…
If the site operators open source the nice UI and their methods of selecting torrents from public trackers (assuming they don't hand pick each and every movie's torrents and other metadata...this is all scriptable/automatable) on Github, that's one way.
Re: Torrent meta-search engine
#20If this is all automated as they claim, that's a hell of a good job. Poster, length, rating, credits, synopsis and trailer, everything one could ask for. And then they throw a full-sized screencap as the page background. Brilliant.
