Good idea. Poor implementation. Not even worth bookmarking.

I always wished something like that but with imdb score include (or everything with less than 5 points at imbd excluded)

useless. is it really that hard to search mininova for yourself after you go to RT?

much more useful would be a site that actually was metacritic meets bt: rank the available releases for any given title by quality.

in the results for ratatouille, they list the original rip over the repack. how useful is that?

I wouldn’t mind more listings, maybe 60-100 in each category or so.

Ace idea though, the only thing missing really is reviews to go with them but they’re easily enough found,

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your comments, I appreciate them very much.
I’m already thinking about some of your suggestions which were interesting.

If you find the site useful, please Digg it and spread the word.

@Ghoomba: Metacritic uses weighted critic scores to rate content. The most respected reviewers having more weight. So it isn’t just what’s most popular.

What a stupid bloody idea..

Choose what you dl by what is considered popular by other people? Yeah.. right.. will do…

Quite frankly I would trust the human race en mass to tell me how to tie my shoe laces, never mind to “advise” me what I should find good to watch/listen/play.

Humans en mass are nothing but an ignorant, dimwitted, bigotted, unthinking, misguided, illeducated, easily led entity, worthy of nothing but scourn.

Individuals are ok, but put a bunch of them in a room and ask them their “opinion” and the “stupid factor” suddenly kicks in.

Less known artists might get a chance with the help of this initiative. Another reason for bans/directors to go torrentway.

good idea just needs a rss feed

PhishyBongwaters’s idea is good. I also hope more categories and subcategories will be added in the future.

And since I’m a Picky Pirate: [..], and does it’s best to match it[..] in the description: “it’s” should be “its”.

Hehe… search needs some work. #3 in music right now is 45:33 by LCD Soundsystem, if you click on that it gives you “Complete Mozart Edition – All 45 Volumes”, “Dream Dance Vol 45″, …

Neat idea though.

Fantastic idea!

Would be nice if they integrated a quality assurance type dealy by using actual release reviews.

I.E. they use the metrics from the critic sites as a value, but also work in what the pirates are saying about a given release.

Look at it this way, say the movie in question is transformers. You’d bring up the relevant torrents, but you are still on your own as to if those torrents are solid and scene standard.

Would be nice if they take that headache away aswell, so the torrents show up, and are rated by release name and quality within the torrent results.

There’s atleast a few sites doing scene reviews, so it isn’t completely impossible ;)
