It would also be helpfull, if you could enter a new search, in the screen with search-results.

And it would be helpfull if you could get more than 1 page of search results.

Overall it seems quite good. Keep up the good work

Noted and covered.

I'd enjoy more powerful categories.

For instance:
All animation is anime, if it's hentai it has an additional hentai flag. If it is raw, it has an additional raw flag.
Same goes for manga.
I'm sure more could be done in this vein.

Separate categories for japanese music and anime-related music. Yeah, I'm just looking for soundtracks.

The only thing I can think of would be a link to AniDB for the anime if that would be not to time consuming.  Would only save on the user cut and paste.  God, I'm lazy.
Thank you very much Ed for my most used site on the internet!

Edward, make sure TTv3 can tell the difference between kilobytes and megabytes.

[simlim]

hmmmm....looks all good...well all i care for is that it remain easy 'n frindly the way it is now...
but i've been thinking, if there could be a feature to show if the torrent is dead or still active.. and what about the ones that don't exist anymore (spicily old ones)....

can the manga be categorized as: translated manga, raws manga, hentai manga  and non english manga    just wondering

[Hoshinofan]

I like the idea of tagging/flagging entries.

IE: Media - TV Show/Movie/Non-animated TV Show/Manga/Game/Video
Language - Japanese/English/Etc.
Subtitles - None/English/Etc.
Audience - PG/PG-13/M what have you...

[bluecoat]

 I'd really like to see a way for people to rate subs/raws, warn if they're a spoof sub or just a really shitty translation, etc. Stuff like that. It takes me a while to download things, and I really don't want to waste time on some ****py sub, so I have to run around trying to find comments about the sub -- usually fruitless!

Edward, make sure TTv3 can tell the difference between kilobytes and megabytes.

seconded.
