I haven't found anything on the internet regarding idope.se but it seems to be pretty nice.

I suppose you're the admin? How sure are you that "servers never go down"?

No @kinleyd is not the admin, I AM :p This project was developed the next day after we knew KAT was taken down, it's very very new, and we are a very small team, so you won't find anything about it on the Internet, especially when we never promoted it decently We only intended to make simple products that everyone can enjoy, we don’t make bucks out of it, and thus we promise no annoying pop-up Ads. Regarding the server-never-go-down thing, the server provider we chose will protect our servers even from hurricanes, earthquakes, nuclear bombs…Honestly idk how they are capable of that, sounds pretty badass.

Not bad. Y u no HTTPS?

we did adopt HTTPS :p pls try https://www.idope.se

It does appear to require Javascript for something as simple as search, that's disappointing. Allowing Javascript can be iffy on most sites these days, but torrent sites are one category I refuse to whitelist, so that's a deal breaker for me.

KAT and torrentz were both usable without Javascript, let's not take a step backwards in usability.

Hi~~Thank you for your comment~~Are you sure about KAT and torrentz not requiring Javascript though?

No, not the admin. Just been searching around since kat's been gone.

It's not really an alternative to torrentz though, is it? As far I can see, it only has kat torrents. It does not list other public trackers..

Yes, that's right. It's worked for me as a reasonable replacement for kat for now. Also, the site isn't anywhere near as good as kat but I'm sure given a little more time they'll improve. Or someone else will come up with something even better - I'm sure these folks will have learned alot about what to do or not do when running such sites.
