- Import the entire current torrent-database. If you're gonna start from scratch, you're gonna loose a lot of good and active stuff. It shouldn't be impossible to import the database, or is it? (I won't hope)

- (Maybe too hard (or impossible) to make, but it's only a suggestion of course): Make the theme user-changeable. For example, make it possible for the community to design custom designs for the tracker - like www.anidb.info has done for instance.

- An addition to the categories: Make it possible for the uploaders to mark torrents: "Dual Audio". That way, it'll be easy to browse torrents with dual audio only, if that's what you desire.

- Webcrawler? You could build-in a webcrawler searching the net for external anime and jap-game torrents. That way, we'll have a huge collection of different stuff. I'm just thinking - is it possible for the webcrawler to sort the stuff in the right categories?

That is my wish list for now..
Other than that: Well done to the developers and owners of Datorrents! I'd say it's the best anime-torrentsite on the net.

Best wishes,
llonell.

- Custom skins would be pretty cool, i would have to see how anidb does it and maybe spec it for after the secret project gets done ;p

- We'll be making a really cool system where when a user uploads they have a bunch of required drop downs to populate extra information (dual audio, what language the subs are in, what file format, whatever we really want).

- There is a full import that is going to happen. I'm currently in the midst of testing our import script to see how it goes. So far so good :-) A quirk here and there, but really nothing to worry too much over!

- We'll be looking at a way to scrape outside anime trackers so then we'll have lots to add That will be a post BETA stage.

Fixes

- The browse buttons are now fixed - hurrah!
- The site has been made wider and once again centered.
- Avatar on the top of the site has been added next to your name.
- Page headers have been moved to above the ads, it seems to make the page not feel so weird now.
- Peer list link has been removed from the torrent details page
- Username is now bold on the torrents-details page.
- Request system has been removed, use the request forum.


Thanks,

A tracker is used in the bittorrent P2P protocol to keep track of peers for torrents that use it. The front end of DaTorrents' tracker is at http://www.datorrents.com.
