Cool! does it work on torrent files that are still downloading? Will try this out.

  It does not use the movie file at all, so yes. What it does is this. It goes and fetch all available subtitles for a movie (You can limit this if you provide a partial release name). It then selects a candidate dialog from all the subtitle files based some criteria and prints out the time at which that dialog appear in the each of the subtitle file. You can use this to co-relate the best subtitle file for your movie file. A downside of this approach is that you have to seek forward and actually find out when the dialog actually occurs in your movie file.

    Thanks for your feedback. My experience was that 9 out of 10 times you'll be able to find a subtitle developed specifically for your movie/tv show release. For the remaining, 10% of cases I think this approach could ease the pain a bit.

      It never worked for me. The hash/filesize will be different even if the movie has been ripped from the same source. Right? So unless someone has made the subtitle for the exact same file, that you have, as opposed to a file with the same timing as the one you have, your search will not find it. Right?

        True. But usually people end up watching most seeded rip/release, which will have a subtitle created for it. I do the same and that's the reason I end up finding the perfect subtitle, 80-90% of times, through the above method.
