One thing, they have an upper limit of 25 characters for the password. Sometimes that's ok, but not always a good sign for how they store passwords.

My (unique) passwords are always more than 25 characters, and it really irks me when websites place maximum limits on the length.

Worse still is when they don't even tell you about the maximum limit, so you paste your 25+ character password in, fire the registration form off thinking everything is fine, only to find they'd only taken the first 10/15/20 characters and the full length password you gave them doesn't work.

I really hope you are not trying to reach the spanish market... because "Putio" sounds way too much like an spanish slang word (hard to explain, lets says its a verbalized version of what in english would be "b*tch"). Something similar happened with "webOS" and every spanish forum were making jokes about it.

In which way is Putio similar to Puta other than that they both start with the same three letters?

The pronunciation is completely different, Puta is pronounced 'pooh - ta' where as Putio is 'put - eye - oh' or if pronounced by a native spanish person 'pooh - tee - oh' (in which case the 'tee' would be pronounced extremely quickly.)

I honestly believe this is a false concern.

I love Put.IO, and so I made a cool iOS app for it: http://awesomeputioapp.com

I love put.io app, and thank you as an avid user! One thing would be nice to know: you mention its open source?

{Another thing that would be nice to know is a set of fat rss feeds, but I'll reserve that question for elsewhere.. hint hint}

https://github.com/orta/Puttio/ - I should add a link in the site

The app uses a collection of sources of torrents, I've only found the native RSS feeds functionality of Put.IO to be useful for [pod/vid]casts

Us hispanic people should pronounce it in English("Pout-ai-ou"), same with webOS("web-ou-es"). Only moronic people Makes jokes on things like this.

On the other hand, Colors is something that UX/UI designers should take more seriously: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_symbolism
