That site served blazingly fast. It's refreshing to see an ad free torrent site.

Since you aren't monetizing the site, how are you planning on keeping the site running? Donations?

Given the relatively slim page size (23Kb for me), and given that SQLite can pretty easily host a relatively simple database like this one and serve 100K-1M queries per day[0], I would expect that whoever is hosting this could pretty easily host this on a single dedicated server which only costs ~$50. So for the foreseeable future, I suspect this site will be fine.

The cost of hosting will probably be insignificant compared to the cost of dealing with DMCA takedowns and possibly lawsuits.

That's why I built Magnetissimo: https://github.com/sergiotapia/magnetissimo

It's easy to build a crawler, the hard part is spending time on bullshit like DMCA takedowns and such. Even if you say: "I just crawl, I don't provide download links, I don't even know what is indexed", you have to deal with legal issues.

So, host your own locally or for your community. No big deal.

Even Google has to deal with DMCA!
