No feeds/seeds in some tv shows
I was searching for the 4th season of Big Bang Theory and I found it on TV shows, but the torrents in there are almost "dead". It would be better if you let the users update the torrent database. So, TV Shows would have TV Series with more seasons and episodes and no wholes between it (S09E08, S09E10).
Best Regards,
Lucas Farah

Hi Lucas,
TVShows is aimed at downloading new episodes as they are aired. We keep past seasons and episodes in the feeds, but we don't maintain them. It's perfectly normal that old torrents have few or no seeds.
Letting users update the torrent database would mean we would have to check every one of them to filter out fakes, and we simply can't.

How about letting the users just click a button if a torrent is dead? The Waze app is famous and works great because the staff count with the users help to make it good.

Hi Lucas,
"The staff" in TVShows are two people that have daytime jobs and work on it on their free time. And as I said, older seasons and episodes are not TVShows primary goal, there's plenty of places in the internet to find them, TVShows just makes it easier to continue watching a show you're already up to date with.

So, is there anyway for ME to help you? Maybe I can help you by deleting the dead torrents and I do it for free

Hi Lucas,
I'm sorry, it's not that we don't appreciate your offer, but as I already told you, TVShows is for getting new episodes as they are airing, and new torrents almost always work (if they don't, users notice it and we usually replace them with working ones, as long as they're fairly recent... e.g. if a torrent for an episode aired last week doesn't work we will probably change it). Past torrents are simply not maintained, and it's mainly for design reasons (it's not TVShows goal) although practicality is also in order (we have over 600 shows in the preset list, it's simply impossible to keep checking all of their episodes regularly to detect dead ones).
