    I’m often checking stats, and have to say, that those are truly impressive :-) you should think about one more thing in that stats - top10 countries.
    Two things are a little sad - firstly, despite huge amount of visitors, forums are pretty poor, and secondly - site’s growth isn’t as fast as before, or even stopped. Maybe all torrent users already know about ya ;-)

    Country stats are a bit hard to gather, mapping IP addresses to countries has always been a bit tricky.

    I wouldn’t call the forums “poor” with 25 thousand members, but I agree that there is quite some room for improvement.

    About the growth: last weeks we broke the visitors record several times (in fact, our highest day ever was yesterday), so I wouldn’t worry too much about that ;)

    it’s true that there are 25k members at forums, but we know that the thing that counts is the amount of topics and posts, which isn’t as huge as it should be :-) And about that countries ranking… I know it’s harder to get those stats, but I hope that some day those will appear at the site. Greetings from Poland :-)

    you should do something with cheated stats, such as about 1 mln downloads on some torrents or fake seed/leech stats. It can’t be done automatically, but you can add a new option in ‘report a problem’ section.
    And about those country stats, you can use eXTReMe Tracking to do it.
