Toolbar and Stats

Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2009 5:38 am

Don't get me wrong... I do like and use this toolbar... However...

Can we add paint to the list of "useful components" so that when I get an error on a site someplace and I hit printscreen to get a screen capture, I can just click on the little paint link on my handy ISOhunt toolbar?

Can we add a few customizable buttons so that I can choose a few of my own off the wall perhaps programs to make shortcuts to (like notepad 2 or notepad ++)?

In settings, I would like to be able to set it up so that Torrent search is my default.

Perhaps a go to my ISOhunt settings & History page - auto-login?

Otherwise I am very happy with the toolbar.

[quote="SpeeDemon37"]The toolbar is more annoying than anything. The radio feature is glitchy. It will stop anytime the toolbar decides to update your RSS feeds, or latest news etc. The toolbar also turns the right click menu in IE7 to a very basic, and UGLY looking one. (Don't even start with your BS about switching to firefox/mozilla etc, I am sticking IE7 thanks)

I am a fan of isohunt and what they represent for the online community. However, I am going to keep my links bar instead, and leave isohunt there.

PS: I hate to be picky, but the installer looks ancient. I cant remember the last time I installed software using the "Wise" wizard... Sigh.[/quote]

UPDATE: Another thread on reviews of the toolbar.

There's been many toolbars, plugins and widgets for isoHunt, but we've created a new toolbar I'm particularly proud of. It gives you:

Quick access to searching isoHunt Torrents, isoHunt Releases, as well as torrents from Torrentbox.com and Podtropolis.com. Includes Web search of course, powered by Google
By-category RSS feeds of all of isoHunt, Torrentbox and Podtropolis's latest torrents, in dropdown sub-menus
Instant access to isoHunt Releases and top searches
News feeds from our frontpage, as well as other P2P and BitTorrent news sources
Tons of other useful features, such as popup blocking, local weather, radio, unit converter, etc. Too many to list all

In short, it gives you instant search and browsing of all our torrents and news. The torrents and news feeds are updated in realtime. It's co-developed and tested by us so it's malware-free, and works in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. Normally I don't have much love for toolbars but this is one I would use myself. So what are you waiting for, try it out!

Speaking of search and statistics, here are graphs showing isoHunt's indexed torrents count since we started tracking last year:

Due to server migration, we have split data and graphs. But looking at trends in these graphs, we are seeing steady growth. As we track most BitTorrent sites on the internet, this is indicative of the BitTorrent system.

Also it's important to note that our index, unlike many other sites which keeps torrents indefinitely, is constantly updated and pruned. Inactive/dead torrents are deleted. That's why you see dips in the graph, when large batches of torrents were pruned faster than new torrrents were indexed. Pruning also include spam filtering (below), which is why we don't boast the largest index by torrents count, but the largest quality index. And general growth of the global torrents count remains.

Another thing of note is that we take spam filtering seriously, which includes a combination of statistical analysis and your reports. It is the nature of any open system, that more popular it is, the more spam there would be. So please report as you see them!

Anyway you could help me configure all the RSS NEWs for the tool bar any help is greatly appreciated I have to change my signature when I get a chance on a side note Question

Comments are no longer being counted and their quantity updated to the search result page - it always show ZERO! For example, HOUSE showed "0" (zero) comments and had ~40,000 downloads or downloads in progress; HOWEVER, once you go to the actual comment page you see 9 comments were made, all negative, but the count still shows zero. I hope that the webmaster can fix this bug, its a nasty bandwidth burner! Hopefully he/she can see what I mean by going to the House search results and checkout this torrent - House.S06E11.HDTV.XviD-2HD -or- magnet:?xt=urn:btih:I4OWWELCJELOVGH3KHRZBZKXM2B4LJ6U

The word of the year is security! I hate toolbars no matter how good they are. But I will never install a toolbar that is not using the HTTPS protocol! I am already annoyed by the fact that the isohunt Firefox default search engine is NOT using SSL... Sad

Sorry Isohunt, I love you guys, but please don't push more items...

Would be better if you could put your energy into filtering out all fake torrents!

hey guys,

I've been using the toolbar for ages, but since one of the updates, I can no longer search ISOHUNT from the toolbar. It now does some funky websearch thing.

Any idea how to switch the search function back to isohunt?
