The only reason I still use tpb is the comments will usually let you know if a torrent is of poor quality, passworded, etc. Consider adding peer ratings for video and audio quality.
Passworded torrents? Dear god, where have you been?
As for poor quality etc. here's our stance: by default, the first search result should be a release of 1) reasonable quality 2) reasonably well seeded.
For power users, we're working on user settings to adjust your preferences for release groups, etc.
Of course, working from a .avi/.mkv/.mp4 file would be optimal because we'd be able to get a lot of codec info from there, but we won't go so far.
I just got a fake game of thrones torrent the other day trying to download it shortly after airing. Granted this wouldn't be a problem for a torrent that isn't very recently created.
