A widget for searching for torrents across multiple sites - at once!.
Search all your favorite torrent sites... at the same time!
This is based on my TorrentSearch widget, but now with a tab for each site, and enhanced display of information. It will display search results in tabs simultaneously for all sites you have selected. Displays all the key information: name, download link, size, seeders, and leechers.
Also comes with a mini mode!
Changelog: 2.6: fixed BTMon again, removed TorrentReactor and Snarfit. 2.4: fixed BTMon, BTJunkie, and SeedPeer. Added version check. 2.3: Added Demonoid back in. 2.2: fixed several sites, and fixed URL opening bug in 9.5. Should work fine now.
1) Allow to have the search engines in a user specified order. I removed all the ones I didn't find useful, and then add them back in the order I wanted them, but it looked good on the config screen, but the real list was back in the arbitrary order. I use Demonoid a lot, and it's way down on the list. It usually has what I want, and the scrolling over to it is difficult. I have taken some engines off so it can be on the main page.
2) Allow the window to size to have more engines or room for data. Auto size the columns or not, that's not as important.
This is my favorite torrent widget of all torrent widget's, its made very well, and i like it alot. I hope to see, more improve ments in the future, even though i cannot really see what needs to be improved, as it pretty much looks like its 100% perfected already. So keep up the great work!
Some ideas.. Since the widget pleasantly sort all the data from the sites in it's own layout instead of showing the messy websites them selves, it could be a next logical step to have an option to sort all the data from all tabs/sites into just one tab. That way it would be a lot more easy to find the best torrent you are looking for(like in torent harvester 0.7b). Also it would be nice if you could make the screen wider so people can read the full file names or atleast have them wrap.
So far is a good searching tools, similar to torrentpond. but i wanna tell one little bug i found there.
search result from btmon has a little error. whenever i click the search result, i always get into the next result. ie: When I Click the number one result it always get me into the number two result, 2 into 3, 3 into 4 and so on.
i didn't found it as a problem whenever the thing i wanna lookup is in number 2, but when in the first row, i must search again within btmon.
Oh, I see where you're coming from now, so really you'd like to just be able to disable the search, rather than clear it. That's a fair point, I'll look into it.
well actually i found your widget very useful but the fact that you don't have an option whether to keep or not your searches it get a bit into privacy.
isn't about using the drop down or not is about having the option to choose to have or not the history kept.
sickzak, I don't have a clear history option there right now, do you see that as a problem? It's not like you have to use the dropdown if you don't want to, plus it's set to have the most recent searches at the top, so eventually ones will fall off the end if you don't use them very often. I'm not sure it's something high on my priority list right now...
Holy ads! To be honest, I'm not very impressed with the site. And it only gives you one page of results max. Have you tried some of the other sites like isoHunt or Mininova? They're far better.

Please fix? Or tell me the reason why it isn't there.
(I guess there could be some reason everyone knows about, 'cept me)
