Is it possible to have a Search button?
Right now the search field only responds to Enter key, so must use a keyboard(or virtual one) to search the site, making the magnifying glass the button would work well.

Ohh, I see what you mean. I'll forward it along, this should be doable. Thanks!

I use it in China and its speed can reach 3mb

This is implemented now, you may need to clear cache or CTRL+F5. Let me know if you run into any issues.

We're testing some changes to the backend regarding token expiration.

Currently, if your session is expired you should get auto-logged out and see a message saying your session is expired - this happens on torrent download. We're going to make this a bit more user-friendly in the coming days.

Hopefully we'll be done with that bug very shortly. Big thanks to Le Pew !

The token expiration thing is great. But, why not simply set the token to 10 years or so?

We need to finish testing it and make sure it works first

Once that's done we'll probably set it to a month and leave it at that. I'd prefer not to set it too high because i'd rather people continually use one account, rather than create one -> clear browser cache -> forget login -> create new account. Ultimately it doesn't really matter to us but the number of user accounts is the only real statistic we have to gauge usage (aside from active peers on torrents obviously).

Token expiry now increased to 4 weeks. We'll more than likely stop here.
So the next time you logout/login, you'll be set for a month. Everything appears to be working great. Can't imagine how relieved I am to be past this

I have a humble suggestion. Would it be possible for you to share the torrent files as magnet links instead of downloading torrent files? It might be more practical that way.

We got a lot of feedback when we tried using magnets and a bunch of people were having issues. It wouldn't import to the torrent client, it mightn't start at all, their 20 year old torrent client can't use magnets. Things like that. We can't force people to update, nor can we help troubleshoot everyone that was having issues so instead we just disabled them entirely. It's pretty unlikely it'll make a return tbh. Sorry.
