Would be very handy to be able to view torrent comments and ratings entered by 
other users.

It would, but it is not really possible I'm afraid. The torrent search system 
uses (for most sites) custom RSS feeds to parse search results and those never 
(to my knowledge) return information on votes or comments.

An alternative would be to manually parse the votes/ratings and user comments 
from the HTML, but this is very error prone, takes a lot of work and it would 
need a separate call to every torrent in the result, which uses a lot of data.

An alternative to that would be to only show them on demand, for example from a 
long press on the torrent result. However, you can already open the torrent in 
the original website from there, effectively leading you directly to the page 
with ratings and comments already. So in the end that wouldn't add a lot of 
value.

Hence, I'm afraid I am not going to implement this. If anyone want to implement 
this, I would be happy to incorporate it into the app.
