Snotr & Mininova updates

Hi there,

Even though some of us are on holiday we are still working to improve our websites. Here are some features that we have just put live.

Updates for Snotr:

Timelinks
Snotr Timelink

It is now possible to link to a specific time within a movie using the simple minutes:seconds format.

Quotes
Snotr Quote

You can now quote other comments using the #number format.

Flash 9
The Snotr player has been rewritten to Flash 9 so we can support full screen (currently available through right clicking) and HD content.

Improved seeking
It is now possible to seek to a point in the file that isn’t loaded yet.
 

Updates for Mininova:

My Bookmarks
http://www.mininova.org/my/bookmarks is now sortable.

Torrents per tracker
You can now view all torrents from a specific tracker, for example: http://www.mininova.org/tracker/17188. Links to trackers can be found on the torrent details pages.

Improved searching
Searching using quotes (”") and excluding words (-) has now been improved.

On another note, Sphinx, used for Mininova search, is awarded for the SourceForge 2008 Community Choice Awards.

FTP Uploads
FTP Upload

Content Distribution users are now able to use FTP to upload their content. This way they can upload files bigger then 1GB.

Automatic Extracting
CD uploads using .zip or .rar archives are now automatically extracted.
 

As always, we would like to hear your suggestions and ideas for both sites. Please comment on this blog post to share your thoughts.

    Great improvements, especially the quoting of comments using the number format.

    Cheers!

    As far as I see, whenever you make changes (slowly, but continously), there’s not been one wrong, but useful.

    Keep on!

    Thank you for your time.

    You need quality control on your featured content.

    Ok, great site, almost add free, excellent. However I feel you have really dropped the ball on featured content.

    1. Often there is corrupted torrents in the feature content
    2. Ofter featured content is years out of date (production date for non-famous items)

    Which leads me to believe that you never watch/listen to any of it to make sure that it is what it says it is. As you recommend it as Featured Content, I believe that you have a responsibility to check it out first. Not just for quality control, but for relevance, usability, and suitability…… Should be you guys to make the first comment, as you have already given enough of an opinion to make it featured content.

    Mininova Is the best torrent site I’ve ever seen.
    It’s public and updating it’s feature very frequently.

    Keep up the great work

    @andy you are missing the point about featured content. it is provided by independent publishers who are self selecting

    i have never heard of a corrupted torrent anywhere, are you sure you do nto have a local issue?

    Thanks for both Mininova and Snotr. Not advanced sites, but clean and thrustworthy, nice for simple persons like me. And they direct me right to where I want, not like other torrent sites and after a few months, a year perhaps, Snotr will rival youtube. Keep up the good work.

    Se serait formidable si vous pouvez concevoir une plateforme pour la communauté francophone genre Mininiva-France !
    Sinon j’aime bien la nouveauté du FTP :)

    Hi all,
    I have problem with RSS. RSS for my two favourite series doesn’t work:
    Dexter (http://www.mininova.org/rss.xml?sub=433)
    KyleXY (http://www.mininova.org/rss.xml?sub=454)
    Is it problem on my side or something else?

    Live Long Mininova :)

    liking the new updates :). i always thought it would be useful if torrents had a language ‘tag’ and could be used to filter results.

  14. 14 Noorullah

    hi i like this site .bcz i have got too many software free of cost and working.thanks

    Yeah, there’re fancier sites, and there are sites with more stuff. But for my money (or lack thereof) mininova has proven it’s got staying power, organization, and quality of files.

    Unlike some I’ve seen where one scans page after page for the type of file or flick wanted; unlike some that are up today and down tomorrow, and lastly…unlike some with files more often than not trash or fakes, Mininova just keeps on pluggin away with consistently good stuff.

    What’s that worth to me? Well, I keep coming back, eh?

    @nofile404

    Nice to read such great comments, we (the moderators) do our very best to keep mininova as clean as possible for you guys and as you can see the admins work around the clock to keep mininova the #1 torrent site in the world by implementing great features for you guys :)
    We hope you keep coming back for years to come :)

    Awsome website, the only site i use cause its so user friendly!
    loving the Bookmark addition saves me heaps of time when im away from my computer.
    Just pointing out the Automatic extraction, would this be a protection threat? just say if some dickhead set a virus upon extraction, there is no way of stopping it if it is set to automatically extract..
    just thought id shaer
    thanks again for your great work!

  18. 18 Treesmoker08

    Thats a very good point made by RiP_CoRd, hopefully there will be the option of turning the automatic extraction off, and im wandering
