stief has a spectacular aura about

for the most part it's great. As I said before, very addictive. It also serves to train a user in the use of filters to sort the results.

I predict that it will be copied by other vendors very quickly.

The results, though, are often disturbing, and there will be more reactions to the kiddie porn and other dark files that many users would not otherwise see. Perhaps a note/tooltip advertising the "block host" feature might help reduce the complaints and make it a feature.

The definition of "new" is unclear. I keep seeing files from other machines on my LAN that were first shared weeks ago showing up in "what's new."

I really like seeing files in non-Roman scripts. I wish they could be control-clicked and entered in the keyword search for editing or finding hosts to browse.
