Hi all,
We’re excited to announce several new (and in our opinion, very cool) features! Let’s kick off:
Streaming of distributed music torrents
In close cooperation with the guys from BitLet, we added a “stream this music” button to torrents containing music (MP3/OGG Vorbis) files (example). This feature allows you to play the music right in your browser, without the need to download the content with a BitTorrent client. Note that this feature is only enabled on distributed (featured) torrents. Artists who’re interested in this feature: sign up for our free Content Distribution service.
Updating seeds/leechers statistics
This one was on top of the list of requested features. Our scraper system updates all torrent statistics several time a day. Many people think this is not enough, so we added an “update” button. With just one click, the statistics are up-to-date again. Note that this feature is only available for registered users, and there’s a time constraint per user and per torrent.
Tracking your comments
This is a nice feature for our active commenters. We already had the my torrents page, and now there’s also my comments. Did you forget where you left a comment? Just check out this page to find it back.
Mininova toolbar
Last, but absolutely not least, we’re happy to announce the Mininova Toolbar. This toolbar (available for Firefox and Internet Explorer, Windows/Linux/Mac) is the perfect way to stay in touch with Mininova. The toolbar features integrated RSS feeds, category browsing, quick shortcuts and of course torrent searching in your browser. Give it a try: the toolbar is absolutely spyware/adware free!
Do you miss some features? Or have you got an awesome idea? Please let us know, and we’ll look into it 
Thanks!
Good stuff!

I miss the editing on the comments. Besides that… keep up the good work.
How do you install this for Mac OS X? It says it’s compatible but I can’t find the OS X install.
wow this is great !!!!!!
Too bad your toolbar isn’t OS independent.
@Anonymous: The toolbar also works in Firefox on Mac OS and Linux.
Please add a Bookmarking Feature
It will be helpful
@Jos: Then I guess the text on the install page should be changed.

The “update” button is not enough; what Mininova — and the whole public community in general — REALLY needs is to begin scraping the DHT-layer (rather than site trackers) for seed/peer info in DHT-enabled torrents.
Given the increasingly rapid pace of major sites closing, this should be a high priority item. — The MPAA is perfectly well aware of the fact that if they can shut down a site, they can also nerf off-site meta-indexed torrents if their seed/peer counts drop to 0/0 and everybody subsequently thinks they’re dead (or they show up five pages down a list of search-returns, if at all).
In just the last year, Demonoid, Oink (private, but nevertheless), Zerotracker, and now Sumotracker are gone or “out for maintenance” or “unavailable due to legal stuff”, resulting in a massive percentage of otherwise perfectly healthy torrents reporting as 0/0. The “Update” button just makes things worse, as any torrent whose first listed announce URL is to a defunct site will have its previously stalled seed/peer count is “updated” to 0/0 as soon as any registered member clicks it.
– And it won’t matter if other announce URLs in the .torrent-file are to healthy sites, since Mininova only examines the first one. For instance, I have over a hundred posted multi-tracker torrents with Zerotracker, Demonoid or Sumotracker as the first announce, and several PR announces farther down the list. Very shortly, every one of these will be reporting 0/0 even though they are DHT-enabled and have scores if not hundreds of actual peers.
If PB is ever hounded out of existence, the overwhelming majority of the public torrents listed on Mininova will register as 0/0 seed/peer unless DHT-scraping is implemented.

I also downloaded the “great” Mininova toolbar, but it does not work the way wanted. And uninstalling. Where is that? I want to get out of this shit. My scanners do not find any information about the MN, so how can I be sure it does not spy me?
ohhh..
gret..
This toolbar is SPYWARE. It hijacks your browser if you get a “page not found” error, even when it is “disabled”. There is no way of uninstalling……….BEWARE, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
How do I uninstall the Mininova toolbar?
