Hi,

Love the site especially the speed. But disappointed that the search indexes the name of the container of the torrent only and not the name of the files within the torrent.

To date the only site I know that does this is "filelisting dot com" but their website is very slow.

Do you have any plans to extend your product to add this feature. Maybe as a premium option?

Super useful to find single documents contained within archived bundles of files.

If 3 more users vote this feature, It will be provided for free to everyone and it will provided at the same speeds as the current website.

Who are you? The tooth fairy? :-)

Yes please, implement this feature.

[pvg]

You should set up an issue/feature request tracker instead of turning HN into one. This sort of stuff makes the discussion unreadable.

Indexing individual files is surely a great feature. Voting for it, too.

You get my +1.

[a1371]

Have my vote please as well.

[gbtxg]

Kindly add my vote too, for this feature.

[HelloNurse]

Archived bundles of files having significant names are important! Torrents of opaque disk images and archives (e.g. pirated software) or video files (e.g. pirated movies and TV series episodes) might be popular, but the strong suit of BitTorrent are carefully crafted and often very large collections of books, music, emulator ROM files etc.

[supergreg]

It's frustrating when you are downloading one big rar file just because you need one of the small files inside.

[vlunkr]

With transmission you can actually select or deselect individual files.

[__david__]

But not when they're trapped in a .rar or a .iso, at least not in my version of Transmission.

[anacrolix]

I wrote a BitTorrent client that specifically only downloads the parts you need to perform some operation: https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent

[xrisk]

But can it look inside archives? If not, then mainstream clients can already do what you mention.

[skyyler]

Most bittorrent programs I've used have this feature.

[kasumis_]

we may consider giving priority to bigger torrents.

[HelloNurse]

Search result priority is largely irrelevant for rare or specific files, since there are going to be few results (at least, few clearly different torrents) and each result is going to be inspected by looking at the file list.

Indexing file names is the search quality improvement you need most. For example, I tried searching for "Pretty Polly", by the Poison Girls; moderately popular niche music. There are 0 results for "pretty polly" and 2 results for "poison girls", one of which is a complete discography collection containing that song. Imagine the results for more popular and prolific authors.

[kasumis_]

Ability to search inside torrents is being considered and will be added soon.
