Bitcq is indispensible for obscure torrents, but its interface could be better.&lt;p&gt;Edit: wait, looking at the source, this doesn&amp;#x27;t search torrents on the mentioned trackers, it keeps an eye on feeds of newest or most popular (in case of tpb) torrents and caches the tracker metadata. This doesn&amp;#x27;t seem very useful to me. Over a long time you&amp;#x27;ll have a big view of the tracker&amp;#x27;s database, but not older content than you started tracking, and, in the case of tpb, you&amp;#x27;ll just have a view of torrents that have been in the top 100 since you started crawling. Weird. Also, peer counts don&amp;#x27;t seem to get updated, I think.</text></comment>

Is there a way to configure it to exclude certain categories of content (such as nsfw)? Do you tend to run this behind a proxy?</text></comment>
