Using this opportunity to ask - has anyone here used torrentpanda before? Imo it was the best torrent search site with a big database of crawled torrents. They seem to have disappeared a few months ago and I haven't found any working domains so far.

The old site is torrentpanda.org but going to it now gives error page and redirects to softcore porn.

Holy crap, thank you. Just the stuff I'm looking for! I'm once again amazed by you folks on HN.
Was it a DHT crawler based engine? The best one I know of is btdig (written in Erlang): https://github.com/btdig
Now that you mention, yes I think so. Thank you and your sister comment for the link, just exactly what I'm looking for!
No worries. BTDigg also searches filenames in the torrents (not just the torrent name) and has a much larger database (largest I've found)
