hmmmm.....just wonder if this site is a "honeypot" for the RIAA or MPAA? It kinda seems fishy for all of a sudden a site to pop up that is almost as big as supernova, but no one has heard of it. I am not saying it IS a site like that, but the way it has suddenly sprung up is kinda wierd. Has anyone else heard of this site before now??

The following is a list of possible concerns regarding this site. None of them define the site as 'bad' per se, but 'questionable' maybe.
1) The graphics & design. You'd think that if someone were to make a huge site like this, they'd have a better graphics team. Still, a site like this in its early stages, this is excusable.
2) The torrents themselves. This site was released publicly TODAY. Some how, it magically has almost 275,000 torrents. Obviously not all of them (if any) are user submitted. This site probably acts as an aggregator, or meta search engine. In fact, I recognize a few of the torrents listed on the main page. Again, I suppose this is excusable. With sites like torrentspy censoring searches, the more sources to get the torrents the better.
edit: upon reading the FAQ, it appears that this site crawls the net looking for torrents, much like google does for web pages.
3) the PayPal link. I'm sure most of you remember the Loki torrent issue a few months back. I'm not sure (and I don't think too many others are either) if loki was actually taken down, or if it was a run-with-the-loot situation, but either way, paying for piracy is bad news.
4) cookies. When I viewed the site in Internet Explorer, I noticed it tried to put a cookie on my system that was in some way related to a paypal image. I don't claim to be an expert on cookies, but I know I'm not a big fan of them, especially when dealing with the darker sides of the interweb.

So I guess you have concerns about it as well? Really, it may not turn out to be a bad site....but with the Loki situation fresh in everyones mind....it does make you wonder. But mabye it is only a "google for torrents" kind of site?

all torrents site are terrible at graphics
suprnova was slow, crashed and a really bad and cluttered interface, and in last few months it had a huge add on right side covering bulk of the screen :icon_blac

That's true enough. I can remember supernova was sometimes slow as molases! The thing that gets me, is how did this site get so many torrents and not have anybody know about the site? I mean, how was it that this grew to the size it is and be private? I say "private" because in their statement they said that they have just recently went "public" with the site.

Well the reason it was private and nobody knew about it is because nobody uploaded all those torrents, it is a completely automated system, or 'google for torrents' as somebody on this thread put it, I know the guy that designed it and he had me and a couple other of a close group of friends trouble shoot the site but we never gave the address for anybody. And I don't think the LoKi thing is relavant here, it costs money to host a deticated server and why should he have to pay to hook you guys up, he's not asking for $30,000 a month like LoKi was, he just wants enough money to pay the bill. I told him I knew some people that did some great web design that could help him out, but he wants to do everything himself and he kept rambling on about all the programming languages he knows and how easy scripting a stupid little web page is going to be in comparison to all his programming experience. But as you guys can see, it takes a little thing called style and not just brains, and he obviously lacks on the style (I hope he doesn't read this). I think he did pretty good for his first web page though. Anyway I hope y'all enjoy. Oh ya, and the last cookies I would be worried about are the cookies that paypal uses for encryption purposes, there not some shady advertising company or anything, its fuckin paypal.

I see no harm in a 'google' torrent site and I like this site a lot. Now I just turn here for everything instead of going to specific sites.
