Add IMDB Movie Ratings when searching
This is done trough Google so it's extremely fast. The name detection and search algorithm is heuristic in nature so it can be improved by adding further keywords.
If you find any other relevant keywords or general improvements to the detection code, please post it in the comments.

Add a Seeders/Leechers ratio column
This comes in useful to find torrents with many leechers to use to increase your own ratio. It's colored to indicate how useful the torrent is for seeding purposes (if it's faded out it's not very good, and if it's bold and very red then it's a good torrent for seeding).

Improves the Interface
Hides unnecessary interface elements. The hiding can be made smooth (animated) by changing the top settings variables in the code.

Update - 19 Dec

Added caching so the ratings appear nearly instantaneously. Also this prevents too many hits to google possibly causing a temp ban on the user as it happened to me :)
