- nddrylliog 14y agoPassworded torrents? Dear god, where have you been? As for poor quality etc. here's our stance: by default, the first search result should be a release of 1) reasonable quality 2) reasonably well seeded. For power users, we're working on user settings to adjust your preferences for release groups, etc. Of course, working from a .avi/.mkv/.mp4 file would be optimal because we'd be able to get a lot of codec info from there, but we won't go so far.
- pault 14y agoI just got a fake game of thrones torrent the other day trying to download it shortly after airing. Granted this wouldn't be a problem for a torrent that isn't very recently created.
- paulovsk 14y ago>"Passworded torrents? Dear god, where have you been?" That's actually pretty, pretty sad. Last week I've downloaded the most seeded torrent of the movie "In Time" and it came passworded. I got all surprised because it was THE MOST SEEDED.
- nddrylliog 14y agoYeah, indeed. Wow, I've only seen passworded rar files on, say, DDL. We gotta be careful about that, thanks for the heads up!
- trentmb 14y agoI don't know about other software, but uTorrent has ratings and comments that get distributed through the swarm.
- nddrylliog 14y agoDoes anybody actually use that? Vuze has some sort of commenting system too but it seems buried.
- trentmb 14y agoIt only seems to get use on torrents that use open trackers, with no originating website.
