A lot of torrent movie downloaders check for the "type of" print available - CamRip, Blue Ray RIP, DV RIP etc. It would be great if you could display these after the search goes through. It would make the movie download decision 1-click.
Displaying by default would confuse lambda users. How would you solve it UX-wise?
At least in Opera the search function is not really working. Neither pressing Enter no clicking on the magnifying glass does the trick.
Reported, we don't really test on Opera, but we should. (Do you have JavaScript disabled btw? That could be it: the magnifying glass doesn't do anything except change to a loading icon when it's fetching suggestions)

Focus is a good thing. Having it just be movies means he can make a much richer experience.
True. But sometimes I like the "one stop shopping" things. When I want to look for a torrent, I go to my "go to" site regardless of what type of thing I'm looking for. I would love to see a UI like this that scaled to other stuff.
We are (obviously) still refining our copy with movies.io, but when we're happy with it, there's still a lot on the plate: responsive design, releasing an API, mobile apps. RSS feeds are a killer feature: add a movie on your iPhone, it's downloaded when you go back home.
Once we have the "final" look of the website, we can apply the same design elements to finding TV Shows, etc. The sky's the limit, really. Oh, and one account for everything, of course.
I like the UI and the execution. I don't know why it is limited to movies. The UI could easily be used for music too.

Oh nice tip.
But still not great from a UX perspective. It would definitely be a plus if this is added. Some method to let other users curate the content would be great too. On the TPB this can be done at looking at the colored skull or the comments. Improving on this method would be great. I don't know whether linking to a release site is practical and desirable? EDIT: also order by date. If I type hunger, hunger games should be…
And, agreed, relying on tooltips for critical info is not good. But, again: how do you separate beginners (who would be confused by the release name) and seasoned users (who are pissed that it's not there by default) ?
Linking to a release site would be over the line. There's a lot to do for user-curated content, watchlists are a first step, but we're going to go a lot further. We just have to think carefully about it: just enabling comments would result in a whole lot of garbage. We'll try to do something smart instead.
How do you plan on staying online?
- Not based in the US: check - Not hosting any infringing content: check - DMCA-compliant: check - Not selling anything: check - Not doing ads, not tracking you [1]: check - Not trying to sell your data elsewhere: check Lawyers will handle the rest. We're not interested in piracy, just very very good UI/UX. Stay tuned. [1] We use Gaug.es and Piwik with IP fuzzing. They provide enough high-level metrics so that we can…

Hover over the 'download' link and you'll see the full release name :)
The only reason I still use tpb is the comments will usually let you know if a torrent is of poor quality, passworded, etc. Consider adding peer ratings for video and audio quality.
As for poor quality etc. here's our stance: by default, the first search result should be a release of 1) reasonable quality 2) reasonably well seeded.
For power users, we're working on user settings to adjust your preferences for release groups, etc.
Of course, working from a .avi/.mkv/.mp4 file would be optimal because we'd be able to get a lot of codec info from there, but we won't go so far.
I've been looking for an aggregator that does this for a long time, but still haven't found it.

Vastly superior UX at http://torrentbutler.eu/
Just heard of torrentbutler a few hours ago. It's interesting, and gets a few things right, but it's not what we're going for. Hopefully the minimalist side of movies.io attracts a different kind of people. Also, the whole watchlist+sharing aspect is missing in tb.

Another example[2], variously tagged HD720 and HD1080, with the latter clearly wrong.
