Well, it’s not as wide spread as torrentz.com…
Its amazing how I hear so much about all these other sites, and yet the best search engine is: http://www.torrentz.com and the best trackers are if you download it from btmon

Maybe it’ll expand…I’ll probably check it every now and then, though I guess I am a bit worried about it also. I’d be interested in hearing more if people learn about it’s statistic/logging policy.

@24: They say,

“IP Addresses”, network ports, and other private information is not shared.

“Not shared” doesn’t mean “not stored”. Unless they say they don’t store IP statistics better add them to PeerGuardian just in case.

@26: Some people (like me) block all banners / disable javascript / flash / plugins / iframes / etc. for most websites that don’t provide a service that really deppends on those. As long as a website provides something usefull it may even look like a FTP listing.

If it works, it just tracks the statistics, and then the MPAA/RIAA would have a database to mine information to sue people off of, not to mention to have average availability would imply the site actually loaded the torrent and downloaded it, which means they can get sued.

Take a look at this search: http://bitsmash.com/info/SE5I5HL6VKHOJT2WFVX3MMNQLMGN5DUL/Indiana+Jones+and+the+Kingdom+of+the+Crystal+Skull+DVDR/

then click on blacklist. actually shows MediaSentry/ DSL.net and the NEED for peerguardian.

what a waste of time, it only works on public trackers, its not accurate,so what is the point?

By: ha

Noobs. How’s it a trap to show in graph form the same tracker and peer stats available on any other site? How is it a trap to track those stats over time to show trends? You’re all a bunch of whining dumbasses.

Great idea.

Looks interesting, but I would like a “general trend” sorta search – like the top ten movie downloads, and the top ten tv-series etc. Preferably gathered from a concoction of all the major public tracker sites.

That would be interesting to see.

Statistics for individual torrents are fine, by all means, but I don’t really see how this is gonna be a “revolution” – this information is also easily obtainable directly from the torrent-sites.

Anyone have an idea as to where I can get a aggregated result from the major sites together?

Mininova’s statistics aren’t very accurate, either, though…

The mainstream culture is all a sham. People should be using BitTorrent downloads as a mark for popularity rather than how much things are sold.

@3
It would be more than just seeds and peers, and it would not just be limited to torrents on a single website or tracker.
