I'm talking about looks here, rather than functionality.

Why are What's tags "useless", by the way?

The bugged snatchlist, crappy search and lack of rounded edges in my browser begs to differ

oh, i though more about the whole site.

because they never match?

at least when i searched by tags it was a disaster

the popular stuff had almost all tags available attached which led to funny results

The bugged snatchlist

i güss that'll be fixed soon

crappy search

why crappy?

and lack of rounded edges in my browser

i don't think missing opera support is something to blame a web developer for. although it's good it's just not popular enough.

anyways the site is not even a week old. to be fair one should give them 2 more weeks or so to get the stuff done

That's the users' fault, rather than the tag system's. I think tags greatly help both the tracker and uploaders by solving the "should I put this under rock or 80s", as well as enabling you to discover new artists who are within your musical tastes.

why crappy?

The old search would sort results on a "newest first" basis, i.e. by uploading date. This one won't. You get a random mix instead.

I solved the issue by setting my User-Agent to Firefox's. It appears it's the JavaScript code they used that can't recognize Opera and doesn't round edges. Still...

That's totally right

of course it is but the result is still the same hence i said useless.

then restricting tagging rights might help

as well as enabling you to discover new artists who are within your musical tastes.

exactly that dösn't work well because of the problems mentioned above.
at least half of the results were not even close. but that was some time ago. maybe it's better now

and no option to sort by date

sure, could be done, no qüstion

I've had mostly good results. May depend on your initial genre and artist choices.

yeah, the result quality is random to some extent

Downloads in torrentleech are very fast, and the new sites look in very nice.
But it still has some bugs.

I guess no site will ever be perfect even after site renovations are made.
People will still be complaining about this 'n that.
Before you know it, people will be both complaining and demanding that bittorent incorporate some kind of "cool" factor into it for downloading something for free.
