March Update

Some small improvements we made the last couple of days.

Frontpage (Erik + Niek): The frontpage now lists the 10 most downloaded torrents for each category for the last 24 hours. We think this is more usefull than the 10 latest torrents.

(for all people who still don’t get it, the today page is the same as the old frontpage and can even be set as your default frontpage in your settings).

Search RSS feed (Erik): The page with search results now contains a link to the RSS feed for that search. This is a easy way to monitor if there are new search results.


Search caching (Erik): Turned on search caching, I forgot to turn it on with the previous update. Search should be a little faster again now.

RSS feeds (Erik): The category and subcategory pages now contain a RSS feed column with a link to their RSS feeds.

Search Cloud (Jos): Jos has made the search cloud look much better and came up with a better formula to calculate the word size and color.

Frontpage Improvements (Niek): Niek made some improvements to the frontpage such as the “Show all of today →” link for each category.

Better caching (Erik): I have improved the frontpage and search cloud caching which should lower the sql server load and improve the load time of these pages.

Labs (Erik): As requested I have created an RSS feed for the mininova labs. Note that we don’t often add new things, but I’ll try to increase this.

Uploads Graph (Erik): There is now a graph containing the number of torrents uploaded each day. It is added to to the graph section of our stats.


Hope you all like this updates. I have reactivated my World Of Warcraft account and made a new character (Firik, NE druid on Al’ Akir) so don’t expect any more updates from me any time soon
