Feature request: Torrent list traditional view #53

Closed duytrung closed 9 years ago

Hi, I used BC and found it's behavior need to be changed, IMHO, :-) Bitcannon display list like this: Torrent name -> Category Traditional tradition list view appears like: Type/Genre -> Torrent name -> Date -> Magnet URL or Root > Ebooks -> Torrent name - Magnet url

Here is the reason why: +There is no need to select the torrent, then the browser loads to "download page" and display the "download" button. It's wasting time. +The text file API is so simple, why make it more complex by adding another step to download page? +Displaying the webpage as traditional html page help bitcannon less using queries like: "started get /torrent/hash/ for 127...1: complete for ... This is good for learning to program with database and stuffs like that. +From the text API, just sort by category and generate a html or at least a local dynamic webpage for each category. This is short and simple. There is no need to download a mongodb, use a sqlite is adequate for the "daily" dumps. sqlite is able to handle large database.

This is my opinion. I found that mongo is so big :-D.

The downloads page is meant for all the extra info like source link. You will see in the next release, there is a lot more than in v0.0.5.

I'll add and reorder the search results page soon. I haven't changed it since I initially made that page, so it's more of a placeholder.

I've just added a lot of info to the search page. I still have to optimize it by not sending an extra request on the torrent details page, but that will come later.
