Install How do I use this?

isohunt.com is quite good for what it is, but the interface sucks. This script tries to fix that.
Please note: if you like viewing the torrent details or reading forums or lists of comments, this script is not for you. I do away with all that in favour of a simple experience.

It shares the style of my better epguides script, and like that script it has a couple of issues yet to fix.

Here's what it attempts to do:

• Removes information that's completely useless to most people (isohunt release information?)
• Attempts to replace the unformatted text with structured markup wherever possible
• Removes categories because most people use the wrong ones anyway
• Removes links to forums, comments, torrent details, 3rd party sites etc.
• Removes ads
• Replaces links with direct downloads of .torrent files
• Replaces internal navigation with AJAX requests to help smooth things out
• Replaces the main page with a simple search
• Presents only the navigation buttons appropriate to the current page
• Replaces formatting here and there, for example "13.22w" in the "age" column becomes "13 weeks"
• Selectively highlights torrent names, for example, "the.best.torrent.evar.avi" becomes "the best torrent evar.avi" with the extension dimmed
• Makes the interface look pretty (for certain values of "pretty")

Still to do:

• Thoroughly test!
• Replace the search form with another ajax request to prevent page flickering on load
• Realise I missed something obvious, replace it and increment the version number :)

I'm quite pleased with this script so far. Please let me know if there are any problems or requests and I'll see what I can do.
