I cruised out to www.bittorrent.org to do a search for "Invasion" to see if TV shows would display in the search results since the new hollywood deal went into effect. Surprisingly the search was empty, so I tried Battlestar and again came up empty. So, thinking about the original intent to distribute linux distros I did a search for Ubuntu. Again the search came up empty.

Based on my short test it appears as if bittorrent.org is just a placeholder and not a real search tool anymore. Has anyone else had this trouble, and when did it start?

Make me a liar why doesn't it. Though I don't know why I'd get so many empty searches it appears to be working. False alarm I guess.

Ubuntu and Battlestar worked for me, however Invasion didn't. They are case sensitive try ubuntu and battlestar.

The official bittorent search, as far as I know, needs you to add your torrent to it instead of using a bot to search BT sites.

If you need an ubuntu torrent, there are many on normal torrent sites.
