Torrent tags don't seem to do much, not appearing in search results
#1
Something I've noticed for quite some time now. The torrent tags don't really do much and I've always wondered why. Just recently as an example I uploaded a collection of 3 movies and I used all the correct tags for each movie name and used commas between each name but without spaces. This is how I've done this for quite a while now but when it comes to actually searching for these movies I find that, like just recently, the search isn't found. I uploaded 3 movies at the same time as that's what I do, I don't just upload things on their own I like to group things together into a batch as it's much tidier that way and more organised. If the tags don't work then has this been going on for years and if so why are tags even used if they don't work? I've noticed when on a torrent page you can click on the tag and then something will come up in a search. Tags don't seem to do a great deal so that's why I'm asking. I found recently that uploading 3 movies, non of them are going to appear in a Pirate Bay search so nobody is going to be able to find these movies if by chance somebody actually looking that movie up in those circumstances...

Well, yep.
Not complaining, but I'd a dream of many things... Not holding my breath anymore.
Guess it's a strategy to compel people to make their own innovative sites. Always liked a torrid conspiracy.

Part of the reason why they are not really used.

I guess you would have to search tags by putting whatever you wanted to search after https://thepiratebay.org/tag/

There doesn't seem to be a way to get it working.  I tried searching for my new shares but they just don't appear on the site.  It's a shame cos I had to go out of my way to get those movies so I could copy them.  I did a really nice job of it and I guess it wasn't for much really.  I do try sometimes, I try my hardest to get new stuff to work on it's just that the cost of these things, to try and get the source material.  I just feel a bit disappointed this time that's all I was unable to do much about it.  I wanted to share them yes like a batch upload as I love doing that.  Just couldn't really get them to appear on TPB properly.  Oh well nevermind then, I tried my best.  I think this has happened to me before actually where I've shared something and nobody has a clue what it is.  Only way you're gonna know is by clicking on my name and looking through my list otherwise nobody would know.  I did share a trilogy a couple of years ago and there's nothing wrong with it but hardly had any downloads in all that time.  I think it's the naming system that causes a lot of problems for me sometimes.  This older one I'm talking about the collection name wasn't actually official for some reason they gave hints to it on certain sites but it never got any kind of release so that's why I released it instead to try and promote the thing but looks like that failed as well.

How do you know that?  Maybe people are downloading it from other seeders.

The stats show seeders and leechers on most of your torrents.  That's a good sign.  Also I searched on a couple titles and they showed up.

Tags are now just clickable links to a list of other torrents that were uploaded with the same tag.

Other search engines that crawl TPB might return results based on the tags people use.
