We've just launched Bitsnoop TV Finder.
It allows you to easily find your favorite TV show among our massive index of 2 million torrents - with just couple of mouse clicks!
Check it out: http://bitsnoop.com/tv/
This is a unique feature - no site in the whole interwebs does this. We're working on adding more shows to index, if you have any suggestions - drop a note to support@bitsnoop.com.

Privacy policy update.
There's revised Privacy Policy on site: http://bitsnoop.com/info/legal.html
What's changed:
* If you rate a torrent, we log your IP adress + rated torrent for 24 hours - to prevent rating spam;
* If you comment on torrents, we log your IP address for 2 minutes (to limit comment spam) and set a browser cookie for 30 days, with your comments username.
All logged IPs are purged automatically each 2 minutes.
And as usual, we do not collect any other personal data.

Comments and ratings are LIVE!
Due to astonishingly overwhelmingly incredibly high demand all the team worked 20x7 and we've done it - launched free-for-all comments and ratings on BitSnoop.
Search by default sorts now by TorrentScore - a combination of rating, comments and peers number.
You can comment all you want every couple of minutes and rate each torrent once a day. No registration required, please keep it polite.
Ah, also we have 1.7 million of torrents in index now, out of which 1.1 million is alive (and accessible without any registrations/passkeys/whatever). That's about 1.5x mininovas by sheer volume and 2x mininovas by alive open torrents. :-)
Also users reported that we might have incorrect download sizes calculated for some (small number, actually) torrents (although these torrents will work just fine). We're looking into it.
Have fun, and good luck bitsnooping!

Beta update.
Site is accessible at main URL now: bitsnoop.com. Yay.
Indexer is online, updating torrents at about 500 per second (yep) and adding about 200 torrents per hour.
Enjoy!
Today we've had some storage issues (degraded RAID array) which resulted in about 3 hours of downtime in total, sorry for that.
Also it seems that cache in RAID controller was offline due to BBU issues. Should be fixed in next hours. The performance of site might be not-so-stellar (up to 5 secs) for some queries, we're working on it.
Coming up next - torrent ratings and comments. Maybe next week. Also torrent discovery could be better (i.e., 400-500 new torrents per hour). Working on it.
