I don't know what other section would be more appropriate, so into "General" it goes...
For a week or two now, the new movies RSS feed has been acting very strangely, giving links to obsoleted versions of movies. And it's not even like the movie was recently updated, and the RSS link is pointing to an obsolete version. I'll get like a link to a 16-star speedrun of Super Mario 64, when the most recent run (0 stars, of course) is from 2008!
What in the world is going on? Can you guys fix it?

Older movies are being updated.

Out of curiosity, in what way are they being updated?
But why can't you do something so that these updates don't masquerade as new movies? You could change the date/time of the entry in the RSS feed to match that of the original submission, or just put a "date originally published" line in the entry at the top, so that it's clear?

Actually, I'm in middle of rewriting the RSS code. When it's done we'll have the issue solved, among other things.

lol, I thought you were a different person. No, instead you have some ability to show a different avatar every time the page is loaded. @.@
Okay. How will you announce completion of this work, if at all? Maybe its own entry in the feed?

No. Via the news feed.

Making torrents for those movies that lack them.
Due to the fact that first pass through all movies has finished, the rate of entries from updating movies will drop a lot (from tens of movies per day to update or few now and then).
