Thank you for working on this project. What is your indexing strategy?

Similar search engines have a warning that you should use a VPN when downloading that I think would benefit users.

We have written up a DHT crawler to locate trackers.We are not dependant on trackers. We are also testing an AI based detector which filters out FAKE torrents (it is not currently deployed, but we test it). If 2 more users here demand a VPN warning, it will be deployed.

How is this "If 2 or more users demand <x feature>, it will be done" policy working for you? Have you used it in other projects prior to this? Curious to hear any stories :).

It's working fine. We are gathering feedback what users want and then do the development instead of we will develop this whether user want it or not. A company once invested more than an year developing a feature, which was rolled back in 1 day after users complained.

Hah! I know that all too well. Great work!

Requiring only 3 users to vote for a feature seems quite low to me.
