Wow! its super fast and NO Javascript!!!

Where are you hosting it and do you plan to monetize?

No, we DONOT have any plans to monetize. NO javscript was a design feature for security focused users. We also DONOT place any cookies (and donot track). We wanted users to experience a fastest experience possible without worry about adblocks, noscripts etc.

On behalf of all NoScript users, I thank you :)

So my next question is - any plans on open sourcing? :)

We donot have plans on open sourcing soon, but we love open-source. Making it open-source will be considered in future for sure.

You should consider open sourcing the static pages/text at least, so people can improve paragraphing, punctuation, and grammar/spell correct:

"donot" should be "do not" (separate words)

"atleast" should be "at least" (separate words)

I realize English is probably not your first language, so no big deal, but it would be nice to fix.

Since authors seem to like to make feature requests vote-based here, I second this motion!

Here's a better version. I'd e-mail it, but I don't use PGP...

[Feel free to change do not to don't. Torrents and Javascript may be capitalised or not.]

This is a clean, ad-free, privacy focused torrent search engine. Like Google/Yahoo but just for torrents (at least for now). This project is still under heavy development. Feedback is welcome, please report any problems or bugs.

We do not track users in any form and therefore. We do not use cookies or javascript in any form. We do not sell any data to anyone.

The entire project is maintained up to date by smart software. Manual intervention is limited but still there. Every hour hundreds of new torrents are discovered and made available for search purposes.

This is currently in beta testing. You can send feedbacks or report any problems to admin (at) skytorrents.in.

Note: Any mails which do not use PGP are discarded by automated software.

Will be used ASAP

FIXED Thanks.

I second open-sourcing. Another idea would be to offer dumps of your index for people to download.

(Pragmatic reason: I worry that you may go offline someday due to misguided legal action, lack of time, etc., and I'd like to have your database offline so I can continue using it even if you're gone.)

> we DONOT have any plans to monetize.

i'd like to tweak the question, and ask if you intend to make money with this site, or is it a passion project/labour of love?

It's kind of passion project.

How will you pay the bills?

Not GP, but my guess is - like many self-respecting Internet citizens, with a $dayjob :).
