torrenttunes.tk is down #101

Open lextiz opened 6 years ago

lextiz commented 6 years ago

The link from the readme.md (torrenttunes.tk) points to site that does not work. It returns 502.

I have built the project and executed it, but it looks to relay on the backend (torrenttunes.tk) and does not fetch any songs. I am probably missing something: does it have a central database of metadata or it is supposed to work as a distributed application?

dessalines commented 6 years ago

That's correct, this did rely on a backend for its search engine, which is down. Unless the project gets more interest, I probably won't restart it back up again as it takes a lot of processing power to seed thousands of torrents.

I understand your concerns, but this looks like a loop: how the project could possibly get more attention if it is not usable?
