<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p></div>Cristina Gómeztag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/292804812013-10-09T15:53:53Z2013-10-09T15:53:53ZNo feeds/seeds in some tv shows<div><p>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.</p>

<p>"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.</p></div>Cristina Gómeztag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/292804812013-10-10T09:37:11Z2013-10-10T09:37:11ZNo feeds/seeds in some tv shows<div><p>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</p>

<p>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
<strong>not</strong> 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).</p></div>Cristina Gómez
