Okay, so installed and added today's KAT db in.
A few initial thoughts:
1. It took 2-3 hours to add in the whole KAT db. No problems in parsing the data from what I could tell, but a long time to do it. Maybe that's my machine but it's not ridiculously slow. I'm not going to be adding in the bitsnoop db of 24m+ torrents at this rate.
2. Pulling up 'browse' takes 45-50s just with the KAT stuff indexed and it takes that long every time I click on browse. Could you add some kind of caching to that page?
3. There's no paging. It loads a page of results and no more.
4. Search is very very fast. Would be nice to be able to specific the category when searching.
The main thing it's missing that makes other sites good is all the ratings, seed/leech data, comments, meta data. I wondered, maybe you could do a large scrape of KAT every now and again that grabs all of that and provide it to people as a kick-start to their database....? Then they only need grab updated files every day or something.
