Thanks Fred, for putting it on there. Thanks to Mininova for supporting us.

Some thoughts about the website:

Mininova recommend Vuze as a Bittorrent client, which appears to have 
some license issues [1]. Maybe they'd consider recommending something 
more free instead, e.g. Deluge. gNewSense users can just use 
Transmission (the default client).

I couldn't find any source code for the Mininova toolbar. I assume that 
it's non-free software and so recommend against installing it.
