Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Vertor shows you what's in a torrent before you download
The service launched recently and provides automated checking of torrents from a number of trackers, like Pirate Bay, Demonoid, and several others. To date, the service has verified more than 140,000 torrents.
20 second MP3 clips are provided to let you preview album downloads. Movies and TV shows display screencaps taken at regular intervals (usually every 10 or 15 minutes) during playback. The contents of text files (like NFOs) packed with applications and games are also posted.
All downloads are also scanned with antivirus software, though they're currently dissatisfied with its performance. It's slated for replacement with a more reliable engine on December 30, 2008. Even in its present state, it's still more of a reassurance than most other torrent sites provide.
Already downloaded something from another tracker? Using Vertor's advanced options menu you can enter the hash code and see the results of their checks, provided Vertor has grabbed the torrent.
Thanks, Nick!

I really hope something like this takes off at some point. Nothing trumps downloading a 5 hour project and discovering after the fact that it was not properly tagged as being English....I could never understand those Czech films!

How is something like this remotely legal? The torrent tracker sites slide by (sometimes) by claiming they don't store the actual potentially-illegal-content, whereas this site must be storing the potentially-illegal-content in order to generate the clips.. ?

You've got a point there.
