Greasemonkey user script: Better torrentz.com

I recently started downloading a TV show using torrentz.com, and got really annoyed at how hard it is to download every episode.

You have to search for it, open the torrentz.com page for it, pick one of the trackers, go to the tracker site,  download the .torrent file from there, go back to torrentz.com page, click the “µTorrent compatible list” link, copy the trackers list from there to utorrent, and go back to search for the next episode.

I see no reason not to have everything directly on the torrentz.com page for the torrent, so I created a Greasemonkey script to to do just that.

The script changes (some of the) links to the trackers page in direct links to the .torrent file (while hiding the referrer, because some trackers didn’t like other sites linking directly to the .torrent file), the direct links to .torrent files are changed to be colored in black.

It also adds a big “download .torrent” link above the links to the trackers, with the first .torrent file it finds and changes the (useless) list of trackers URLs with a textarea that you can copy directly to uTorrent using some AJAX.

I find it quite useful and time saving, and thought someone out there might like it too:

Download / Install / View source

You need to be using Firefox and have the Greasemonkey extension installed (direct link to .xpi file) to use this.
