Then I guess I am a rude person Bruno.  I am not a developer, I'm 50 years 
too late for that, I wrote my ground breaking SW 15 to 30+ years ago.

When the site is a secret from the users till it goes public, then obviously 
they are not going to get any feedback from the users until that site goes 
public.

What you are now finding out, is that the _users_ are not happy campers.

Yes, we've now spent entirely too much video ink lambasting the site, no 
argument there.  But I have to assume that site was composed for those with 
very poor eyesight, all the headlines are at least 3x the font size needed 
for these diabetic, failing eyes, (does the rest of the world have even 
poorer eyesight than what I have left at my age?  I think not on average) and 
with that corrected, there would be room for quite a few links to the 
torrents page.  IMO that whole argument about no space is pointless, the 
space is there, but poorly used.
