Yup, short film names currently give not-so-good torrent results. One guy in the team is working on much better algorithms for the following:

  - Torrent ranking for a given movie

  - Better heuristic to detect the quality of release, language, and 'advanced' tags: there's a lot you can guess from the release name without having to download/cache the files yourself.

  - Movie recommendation (stuff like "3 of your friends want to watch the same kind of movies, why not watch them together?")

  - Hell, who knows, matchmaking? "You and X would probably get along well, since you're both hardcore Tarantino fans"
In any way, clean design is not the only way we try to differenciate ourselves.
